I think the lists are correct, since my country is on the harmattan list ;). But I wonder. How did nokia come up with the lists... I would want to be in that meeting where they decided that :D

What bothers me the most is that the WP7 will have a better hardware, because of the mandatory chipset from the WP7 spec sheet.

That will be the final nail in the coffin, as everybody will read the specs and assume that the WP7 phone is superior. Nokia even bothered to put a dedicated camera button on that :(

Excuse me for being so blunt and foul but this is bull$hit.

This just goes to prove that most big companies are nothing but money making machines, the "goodness" within Nokia came from the low level employee, developers and designers who stayed in touch with this communty.
The top guys who had any decency and morals already left trying to find their fortune in different places.

I was not going to buy the N9 but this feels like a painful punch bellow the belt, i can only imagine how the people who worked on harmattan feel like.

Harmattan is very much OMAP3, Windows Phone Snapdragon and Symbian is stuck with ARM11 chips.
ARM11 chips are the least expensive, followed by snapdragon and OMAP3. Dual Core chips are a lot more expensive, and are mostly advantages for multitasking, so that may be more of a tablet/pad kind of chip.

I am starting to think that one of Symbian's problems is that they haven't adequately ported it yet to ARMv7 instruction set (i.e. Cortex A8), and that is the reason Symbian is still using ARM11 chips.

It was said multiple times that heritage of MeeGo/Maemo work at Nokia will be used everywhere else in Nokia products. We've got N900's icons reuse on Symbian first, now industrial design reuse for WP7.

For a company like Nokia it makes sense to reuse what is possible. Sometimes this causes issues for consumers who think that Symbian Anna icons on the screen mean everything underneath is also Symbian but that usually comes with the help of sensationalist journalists who can't grasp a thing.

This reuse of N9 body shell actually makes N9 case stronger -- it will be released because there is now no excuse for not reusing the same production lines, at least from operational perspective.

It will be very interesting to see if UX concepts will be swallowed by Microsoft when Nokia would try to contribute them as part of UX differentiator -- if we believe into the point that only MS is responsible for the software of WP7 platform.

Who else thinks the British Airways app is pretty cool? Yes there's a lot of flashy unnecessary stuff to make it look better and complicated but then again who doesn't like overly flashy complicated stuff, like my n900 :P
