Enthusiasm is a good thing, but enthusiasm over dead things is, well not very attractive. The N9 stopped selling sometime late January, early February. After that it has been zero, I mean a 4 digit number in the Entire European continent, even with ridiculous price drops. The Lumia 800 is even worse. It started off much cheaper, had loads of PR, sold maybe 1-1.5 million units and now it is complete stop there as well. With the new Sony devices running on dual core U8500 on the shelves (cheap, but very attractive, ultra fast and selling like hot cakes), HTC One X/S (To date maybe the best phones ever to be produced using any standard) and soon a new King, the SGSIII. The Lumia 900 has no chance in hell. It will be DOA literally. The iPhone 5 will come this fall as well.

What has that got to do with Maemo? It's the end of Nokia smartphone business, and the doors will be closed. Maemo/MeeGo doors will go first. I doubt we will even see Pr 1.3.
