Fremantle. :) Summer 2009 would be a safe bet.

You can already see the current progress in the Maemo 5 pre-alpha SDK, and Nokia certainly aint Palm.

What vapourware? Nokia hasn't promised anything they haven't delivered. The pre-alpha's out and we're already well on our way to the next device. . . .

Summer 2009 is too long for me to wait. That being said, it doesn't mean I gave up on the future device. I'm just going on to my next device which happens not to be made by Nokia.

About the vaporware comment. A generalization on my part, a bit unfair at that. I should have said that I just don't want to wait for whatevers next whenever it appears.
