Most forum members here will understand what i am saying.
I want a device with that will offer a desktop linux experience - hildon is a perfect example of that with a hardware keyboard and all the nerd kingdom goodies out there.
I want a device that will replace the need for a tablet and a dumphone combo.
In the end, it seems that i want what most people on this forum want, a stronger N900.
Is anyone going to make that for me?

Hi,
If, finally, the Openmoko GTA04 appears, it could be great to adapt it to Meego.

Yes, the market is way too small. You can only hope that N9 sells well, and NOKIA will make you what you want as they have done with N900. A start up will focus on the biggest market segment, rather than geeky small market

I cannot believe the N900 did not bring ANY profit to Nokia. Is there any actual sales number published anymore?? The least I could believe is that they got it at cost lol, to me that would still make it worth it. You might not won any money but you didn't lose any, and you made a lot of people happy.

No UK, US, France, Germany, Spain... ect
This is Elop's way to ruin the N9 as he knows it offers a much greater experience then any of their WP7 devices will offer and they are due to be released around the same time, Nokia don't want MeeGo to stop WP7's chances

Companies only care about ONE thing, making a profit. They don't give a flaming monkey crap if they make people happy or not, unless they make a profit, its a failure and they won't waste time doing it again

Have you bothered to read about this at meego.com and developer.nokia.com?
