no provider is going to advice any of its customer to pick a MeeGo device in those conditions, will they?

so why not use the "proven platform" (dixit Stephen Elop taking the Oro out of his pocket)?
a Symbian N9 being a N8 upgrade w/ such a disruptive HARDWARE technology would stand a much better chance exceeding the 4 millions unit of N8s sold in less then a year, no?
iPhone was not a mature product when it appeared, it had a nasty habit of exploding. The fact that the technology was not proven, did not stop it from changing game. Bare in mind it was never announced until it was too late for the others to react.

Nokia on the other hand, has already presented some of the cards, which means they will have to produce haptic device really soon, otherwise it will not have a disruptive effect (even now the competition is working toward the same goal).

This does not eliminates hwkbd, which from mine point is proven and preferred solution.
