zjk, I believe and I am grateful for all the information you bring to us, but I completely dismiss all the conclusions you jump to. That is the problem with leakers, when they abuse their position wanting us to believe their own theories. This is more or less what Eldar himself does...

Nokia has sold old hardware before, and will do it again. They have also sold defective hardware. They can fix those things if they want.

I can't see how you can support the idea Jessie's Girl will not be sold as a regular device without supporting the notion that they have a number (92k) of devices already built and are unable to produce more, or to fix any problems (e.g. "flimsy hinges", unglueing USB ports) they might have or update some of the specs.

Well, maybe there were kludgy N900 they made up for internal use during development and that ended up in external developer's hands eventually. I still can accept that as an argument to support that Nokia might not pick up this old hardware, develop a good software to it and sell for all those hwkb-hungry geeks around here.

And the whole "the teaser video will not be wasted because the device must be presented to the community". Was there any videos to present the frankensteinian version of the n900 to the community? Is it really easier to believe in that instead of believing this is a regular advertisement for a device that will be released as a regular product, with regular and outdated hardware?
