Qt and Linux is great, but I wan't a device to use one a daily basis.

If they say the N9 is only low end because of the used operating system and the Meltemi successor will use similar hardware and perhaps the next generation of them I'm very soon a S40 user again. ;)

Sounds like my HTC Magic (in some respects better, like the CPU), the second Android device launched, so top of the line smartphone from two years ago is now "feature phone".. Still using it, a bit sluggish with Android 2.2 but it works until I get my N9 next week. I'm sure they can make decent low-end phones with this hardware.

I don't think anyone should get existed about this. First of all because for now it's just a rumor. Second and maybe most important this is nokia we're talking about they are ment to either fvck up something good or support something really bad. Third of all low end, light weigh,t sounds to me like this os even if it comes to existence will have very low capabilities and probably no way to run a real linux stack on it.

They've been "talking" about meltemi for some time now, The only news here is that its supposed to be linux and not s40. Maybe they decided continue with maemo and drop the s40 qt plans (if this was the plan in the first place). Any future linux distro coming from nokia is gonna be some evolution of maemo.

As harmattan runs fine on 1ghz hardware and with qt 5 it will be even faster UI-wise I don't know why not to go this route.

Too late. I read it therefore I am.

Give me real, open Linux or I might as well keep using Android. At least I have a wide choice of hardware.
Exactly what I've been saying for a while now and one of the two biggest reasons why I didn't get an N900 (the other being I didn't want a cell phone in my tablet... I still don't).

That was my biggest issue with MeeGo, not a big fan of RPMs.
Why?

Definitely not, considering they couldn't even be arsed to sign the repositories with the correct keys (or maybe they were indeed hacked, who knows? especially in light of recent revelations of other LF-hosted sites being compromised).

what do you mean!? this is nothing new. its in the "billion strategy"

Nokia has said from start of elopcalypse that Qt will be used on lorange devices and Meltemi has been discussed before.

They probadly "leaked" it again after yesterdays announcement of tizen. And now maybe with some more info to make the rumor go wild...

too me this is logical step. meltemi is more like Maemo7... I mean loprice devices 2012 will be > 600Mhz perfect running linux :D instead of broken symbian crap.
