I think nokia will tell us more about the purpose of the N9 in the next 2 months or so. Just wait til then.
If that happens I'll be very pissed...
N9 not out for even a month, nor had a chance to prove itself.
Before they totally bury the chances of there ever being another high-end ph like it.

They've never officially said anything that suggests they'll do that.
But a lot of their actions have pointed in that general direction.

It'll be a shame if they don't even give a 2x OS strategy a chance.
If not in the immediate term, than at least for the longer-term.
That's what I'm hoping to hear from them in the new year...

*1x MeeGo or Maemo based ph at the top-end /yr (beginning 1H 2013)
*Dozens of WP phones that span from the top-end to the mid low-end.
*S40 for the simplest feature-phones around the world
*Continue as planned for Symbian....
[maybe even phase-out more quickly, if that's going to mean better productivity for S40/Maemo]
