I must say I am very very hopeful after looking at the FCC reports. I feared the keyboardless Lankku was the one nokia "MeeGo" device to be released.

Anyway, here's what I gather are the commonly believed facts:

- To everyone's surprise It's a revision of the N9 we were all drooling over a year ago. (source: FCC report combined with year old highly detailed leaked photos)
- It will run Maemo6 aka Harmattan and not MeeGo (or WP7) (source: maemo community mailing lists)
- It will be announced very soon, possibly 17th of may or during MeeGo conf in San Francisco (source: Zehjotkah's tweets)

I'm very excited. :-)

EDIT: In regards to Nok not going forward with MeeGo in a large scale: It doesn't bother me at all, as long as they keep making these niche, high quality linux devices and release every 2 years or so like they have been doing since 2005. I don't want stuff made for masses, I want stuff made for me. Like the N900.

EDIT2: The name of the device is yet to be determined. The Rich Green coined "N950" was, as I understood it, done to illustrate how the device is a natural successor to the N900. He even gestured towards airquotes. Anyway I'm guessing N9, since it was written on the prototype from last year.
