And even if they go on and do that they simply can't afford it. The sad truth is that Nokia signed it's death sentence on Feb 2011 and now its just waiting for the execution.
Your words made me cry. Unfortunately I expect the same. It is sad to see that big companies and innovative products like Maemo/MeeGo and webOS could be easily eliminated by a few stupid people who are failing to believe in the product they created. I mean honestly, why should I buy a N9 (please no flamewar now - just stated it for sake of argumentation) or a HP Pre if I already know, that these products are gonna be pretty likely dumped into the trash can by their former creators.
For me the perfect combinations still would be a Nokia Phone with webOS (open webOS if it's ever to come).
Nokias dedication to former flagships can be seen in the way the customer support deals with n900 users. The very first time I called them, they never heard of this phone, now that my phone is broken Nokia wants me to buy a new Nokia phone and denies that the usb to old nokia charger adapter ever existed, eventhough this came with the phone.

For me these are all signs, that the same thing which officially (!) happened to Maemo are gonna happen to MeeGo. It's just sad to see, that Nokia lacks in dedication and faith in its own products.

My two cents,

P.S. Why the hell is Nokia using valuable resources to develop yet another linux based os, if they already have MeeGo. You build highend phones with WP7? Fine use MeeGo then for future phones and see what the community can create damn it!
