Some not before seen Nokia phone in a trailer for movie called Real Steal.

It looks like an N8 or E7 with Android photoshopped onto the screen to me.

Top bar is way too fat.

Personally i think it's just a "movie phone" that wont be released for the consumers.

Woah, hang on. We knew that there would be a DRM-mode, and a non-DRM mode (for devices that haven't been locked by a carrier), but last I heard we would be able to switch between the two, maybe by reflashing. This is the first I've heard that the change is one-way only. Source?

It was a topic of hallway discussion at MeeGo Conference 2010. Several Nokia employees confirmed it. According to the Nokia employees, a device can never again be fully trusted once it leaves locked down, DRM protected mode, so "developer mode" was seen as a one way trip. I believe there was discussion of the news in a thread or two here.

If there's to be a developer Harmattan device followed by a consumer Harmattan device, I could imagine the second being the only one with a non-reversible developer mode switch. Or perhaps the developer device won't support DRM at all. It will be interesting to see what Nokia releases.

okay, some good and bad news.
bad first:
I can't comment on any hardware details.

good:
the preinstalled version of Ovi Maps is exactly the same as the one found on Symbian devices.

edit: and to stop with some speculation:
who would be damaged if Elop really would want to make MeeGo look crappy?
It's only Nokia who would get a damaged brand image, because the end consumer won't distinct between MeeGo or Windows Phone (that doesn't mean that the UI is similar!), just because he doesn't care. he would just see a crappy Nokia phone - brand image damaged. so we can clearly say, that we won't see any crippled down crappy OS.
