Oh I know, I blame mostly the bizarre decision to stick w/MeeGo branding, even after they'd ditched the strategy.
They went to great lengths to secure it from the LF....
When they could've immediately subverted MeeGo, & referred only to Harmattan, Maemo, or even just Nokia N9.*
It wasn't as though MeeGo was a household name by Feb 2011...
They hadn't done a great deal of marketing by that point for the handset side of things.
It's almost like they wanted to attract the "MeeGo is dead" ridicule/mantra from the blogosphere.

*granted they did do this to some extent
