Why releasing an Harmattan device when Nokia bets on Microsoft?
- it was in the pipeline already
- it is an amazing device which will polish Nokias brand image (think about called as "Smartphone of the year 2011" or similar)
- maemo/MeeGo is part of "future disruptions" branch
- in future disruptions, technology will be researched which could change the whole market, think about Motorola RAZR, iPad and so on.
- Qt: Qt is still a huge part of Nokia and Nokia will also bet on Qt in the future (not on WinPhone, though)
- there are plans to switch over to MeeGo proper (which will get a firmware update every six month) but I don't know if there is a decision already
