mediamart isn't a little supermarket. they were very good for getting unlocked phones when i lived in spain.

You are comparing 16GB and 32GB phone. iPhone 4 16GB is at least 100€ cheaper then 32GB.

There's a rumour out on the street that Meego is going to be merged with Limo.
http://www.ftd.de/it-medien/medien-i.../60109122.html

If true this is EXTREMELY good news for the future of Meego.

Edit: TBH I can't se the need for more than one open mobile linux/x11 distro anyway. It's easy to slap your own UX on top of it and the rest is just more or less the same on any distro.

Why is that marketing guys prefer to produce adverts that tell you as little as possible about the item they want you to buy. This is how adverts should be done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jccmgOqHSk

Huh. The screens look a lot different than they do now, on actual devices.

Because "shiny, shiny" sells whereas a whole slew of technical details cannot fit within a 30 second advert unless it's said as fast as humanly possible and makes sense.

Simply stated, you entertain the brutes with something shiny, the geeks will research it to death, you hope it sells to both camps (usually doesn't).

They'll be CGI mockups of what they thought the screens would look like. Remember how great the N97 looked in the advert.
