Elop has been clear. It's a resounding no.

Guess you are talking about this blog from qgil, which was a reply to a very similar question as OPs question I asked here.
I agree it is kind of cryptic in certain parts
Will try to pull together my thoughts on this when I find some time the next days...

Edit: Nokia should make a M-series that is Meego only.

Not unless by some miracle they sort out the missing services that will make consumers happy, work out the lack of 3rd party vendor support and then give the hackers and geeks a hardware keyboard version with some CPU/GPU combination that's higher spec'd out than the current N9 iteration and somehow do so without causing issues with what's supposed to happen to the WP7 phones.
And all of that has to happen with a much smaller budget. So no. I don't personally foresee MeeGo coming out in any other Nokia phone.
Make super deal with the worldwide telco companies to offer the N9 almost free (loosing some profit margins / bending over to get the traction from telco companies).
Sell it unlocked for dirt cheap (loss / not enough margin to cover operating expenses).
Advertisement to directly attract crowds from age group 13 - 40. (multiple ads ok too).
Keep bashing Apple / Droid in TV Commercials especially in USA with comedy theme of what I can achieve with NXX and what you cannot with XXXX. To have a word of mouth ad which every-body talks about. Focus more on the age group ( main focus point to be with-in 20 - 29.
Well in my books all these costs boot load of money which Nokia is not very inclined on investing for the favor of Meego.
SO yes they will make another one.
. Yep and will still be another N900 / N9 niche product. YOU STILL WOULD NOT GET WHAT YOU WANT though.

1M.
(don't quote me on this, you only asked if any one can answer which I did, you did not mention anything about it being accurate or legit)
