I'm sure something like this was said at the end of 2009.
Maemo for high-end devices and symbian for less-featured phones.
Until there is an official announcement then I'm not convinced.

This is really not about abandoning Symbian, but changing the naming schemes.
Isn't it typical Nokia way of doing things? Announce a decent phone and kill the OS.
As I see it, anyway.

You might want to read the source before you reply (even the OP overlook the key elements by forking the content with a faulty parser)! It does tell that future N-Series won't get Symbian no more. Symbian is yet to be Symbian^3 and at least Symbian^4 is planned. So that's nothing to worry about for anyone who owns or thinks about buying any N-Series Symbian^X device! It is just another note that Nokia is definitely going full pull on MeeGo for future N-Series devices. Period.
Like i already mentioned getting the magic of N series that it had for the first 6 years of Symbian being all new needs MeeGo to take it's place imo.
As far as MeeGo being high end only is nothing new. It was already said many times in 2009. It's just about the N series branding here.

I would be shocked if Nokia managed to actually deliver on June 30th.

You won't see working MeeGo/Harmattan on June 30 - its still in very much alpha stage, only UX preview will be released.
