What the screen look like? All that other **** don't matter lets get this out the way. Am I the only one that wants to know? This a big part of if I want the n9 since they took the keys away. Seems like the most important question is being ignored. Someone please tell me something, we in the same boat just fellow Nokia fans

(The one that was tested) My question is how do you get from "a device exists" to "you're lying about this other device"? There seem to be some pieces missing there.

PS As a profanity enthusiast, those ****ing *'s make me see red. Censorship blows!

if youve read my thread or my posts, i always allow for another device, i dont deny it like so many "purists" deny the HWKB device and pass it off as if its a red headed stepson never to be let out of the dungeon. never said Lankku wasnt real, its just not as tangible as Dali. what i will say however is the substantiation of their musings is not as concrete as the FCC doc. till otherwise theres only one device, that we have seen and another that elop flashed but i cannot glean anything from that so i will leave it alone ... i guess my message has been enveloped by my passion, which was and has always been, wait.

we WILL find out, thats a fact, but right now i have to act under the auspice that no one on knows. i apologize if i called him an outright liar.

I doubt Nokia will release the Device in Q4, Simple reason is why would they want to go against there Windows phone devices what are pencilled in for Q4.
It would be seriously embarrassing if there platform on life support out sold there high end future.

It is my hope that nokia will release one meego phone every year with a clear update path. I'm a delusional fool, I know.

I´d skip releasing this device if I was Nokia. No good can come of this any more. I personally want the device, but from Nokia´s current disastrous state of affairs after Elop´s Big Talks it´s basically dead.

- The device people are crying out for is the keyboard one that Elop himself killed once he got in.
- The device that will be released (keyboardless) won´t be marketed. It´ll be sold but buried somewhere on websites, not advertised.
- The devices are running Maemo Harmattan, that Nokia would like to call Meego-something, but can´t because it isn´t Meego.
- The device can´t look good because the WindowsPhone devices need to be the most awesomestest things ever released by Nokia, if Elop is to ever escape from this merely looking like a fool for destroying Nokia´s revenues for 2011. So he has to hope that this´ll be a completely botched affair and make sure it is unsupported by the Nokia marketing machine.

I can't help but think the new WP7 phone will use the same hardware as the new supposed "consumer" harmattan phone.

Regardless, I think it would be great if they released 2 devices at a time... each with the ability to run either maemo/meego or WP7. The 2 devices would have the same internal hardware, but one with a hwkb chassis, and the other w/o. So if they produced a single device, they could easily repackage it into a 2nd device... and in the end they would have 4 devices (2 devices x 2 OS's) in total to sell. I think that would be really efficient, as well as giving consumers a choice in what they want.

I notice that people keep trotting out the Nokia "then and now" strategy picture.
Look where Meego sits......
right at the very top.
above WP

That WP is going to replace Symbian is common knowledge and makes sense from both MS and Nokia perspective.
MS needs the sort of massive number of handsets that currently is the domain of Symbian and Nokia needs a replacement for an OS that is perceived as outdated and beyond redemption.

A part of the appeal of a high end handset is exclusivity (and features) and "another WP handset" won't fit the bill. Even a maemo 6 handset this year will give Nokia the time it needs to refine Meego in house.
Nokia is still contributing to Meego core (and trunk) and what they do with the UI is there own business and has no need to be done in the open.

As for FCC, well testing and approval can be done in a couple of weeks, and given suggestions that we can expect release in September, that leaves plenty of time for the admin and log

Everybody knows it from the leaked pics and vids from yesteryear, and it still looks awesome! Jessies's Girl with her old-hardware beats any existing device today hands down in the fighting ring of my heart!...

Gimme old leaked rumored 1GHz MaeeMo mobile computer!

How do you get into the developer program wherein the developer devices are doled out?

I am a skeptic of the "no hwk to the n00bs" hypothesis myself, but better safe than sorry. Develop! Do you know anything about programming? If not, start learning. If you know what iterations and recursions are, download the Qt SDK from http://qt.nokia.com/ _right now_ and start playing with it, it's simply awesome. It comes full with a device emulator and stuff to help you get your code complied for phones in Nokia, and published for the public.

Of course you need that, and an idea... I'm sure you agree with me there is limitless potential in mobile apps, so reach for the stars and Jessie's Girl will knock on your door.
