    I would actually prefer a 1.5Ghz dual-core ARM-based CPU like the TI OMAP4440 or Marvell Armada. The Atom is slower and would be a power guzzler compared to an ARM-based CPU, the only upside would be the ability to run closed-source apps compiled for x86, including running Windows apps on Wine.

    Given the fact that in MeeGo repos there are only ARM compiled builds I find it hard to believe that Atom will power a Nokia phone , maybe it will be next year or when Intel produces a tablet platform but for handsets its very unlikely , Atom is not a handset CPU and Intel knows that and my guess is Nokia knows too. If Nokia does something stupid like this it will be the same as with Windows 7 tablets

    Nokia have released intel compatible handsets before. The 9000 and 9110 Nokia communicators could both be booted to a dos shell and run basic x86 utilities. Also the wine option is quite exciting as long as there is still an X server (I've heard they're thinking of using some different framebuffer display manager), I guess you should still be able to start one. Sounds interesting.

    LOL, this is pretty misguided and goes against everything I have read on this forum in the last three years. If that really is the case, I'd lose any compassion I have left for Nokia...

    So... MeeGo on ARM was Nokia's backup plan?

    Why are you guys so surprised that the first Meego phone will be running on an Intel x86 processor??

    Did you honestly think that Intel a chip manufacturer would join hands with Nokia in developing a new mobile Linux distro, only so that Nokia can produce more phones with ARM processors that are produced by other not-Intel chip manufacturers??

    Get real... (trying really hard not to be snide here...)

    Not true - they have been working on x86 from the start (see Aava Mobile). If true, I would not be surprised as the x86 handset build seems to be a lot further along than the ARM version. I remember Stskeeps saying a while back that for whatever reason they have encountered all kinds of problems that the x86 team has not.

    Yeah right I totally forgot about that well if that's is the case then N900 is really gonna be last and the most mistreated device in Nokia's history
