Interesting; I'm glad that the range is extending, and this move will definitely have some analysts calling into question what Nokia wants to do with S60 now that that too is open source and cellular enabled. It would seem to me that Maemo and Symbian just overlapped considerably and one of those will not make it within 5-7 years time.

I'm not a fan of HSDPA for this; and at the same time I can see the thinking for a family of devices that would be enabled to do whatever data connection is needed whenever. From a marketing play for a services company, its smart.

Those with really nice eyes would see that in one of the slides to the presentaiton that there were a few Ovi shots there. Now, that in an of itself isn't a notable thing. But wouldn't it be a trip if the Maemo 5 UI pulled from what Nokia is doing with Ovi. The icons used for Ovi services are already slated to be used across the devices, so that would be just interesting.

High definition camera, eh. Considering that 5mpx Carl Zeiss lenses now compromise the low end of the N-series, this makes sense. Please tell me that there will be some innovative contextual uses of the camera beyond video calling and taking pics (geotagging, overlaying web with the real world, etc.).

All I wonder about at this point is the hardware design and the user interface. I'd like to know those before jumping in the pot that Maemo 5 is super great. Though, it does seem like a nice step #4
