I hate to keep quoting you but you said for synergy to bloom there needs to be more devices, non-Symbian Qt devices. I'm not aware of any other besides MeeGo since the N900 doesn't count.

As a side note, the three MeeGo devices that Elop suggested we would get before 2014, that's the same number as phones Apple would release if they stick to their regular one year release interval; three before 2014.
Haha. True, and if anyone thinks that this is a successful strategy for MeeGo, I have a bridge to sell you.

Well, I'm not sure we're getting three MeeGo phones anyway. If I understand correctly the three phones Elop mentioned were planned from before he changed the strategy. I think we're getting a single MeeGo phone from Nokia. But that's just a guess.
So you're saying you don't think there will be a MeeGo device after Harmattan. Maybe.

While I understand the potential of Qt, I just think that Nokia would have been able to better execute on maturing both Symbian and Harmattan / MeeGo if they weren't encumbered by Qt.
