These speculative conversations go nowhere. Make some bold forecasts.

What I do know is that in the almost 2 years I've had my device it has become a pretty decent appliance for me. The sad part is a lot of that work has been done outside of Nokia. I'm hoping that the acquisition of qt and the mapping company change that. Bringing out another os and having the community at large fix, refine and develop is not in Nokia best interest as a large multi-national corporation.

I applaud Nokia on creating this platform but the execution and support is lacking. Hopefully they are now seeing the market potential and will put in the necessary resources on the software side. From what qgil said in earlier post it seems they are. Texrat you won't be alone here in the US anymore.

Here is my prediction.
major update to Diablo coming within the next two months. hopefully rotation and dual boot among other things.
Wimax will be released when carriers get their networks up and running. Good luck.
Fremantle will start releasing small samples towards end of year to developers.
N900 released around March or April of next year with hspa in but not activated.
Then in middle of summer they will release the full Blown Fremantle and that activates hspa fully.
This gives Nokia time to get bugs out and lets the community play with the new toy. The community will love it because although hspa isn't activated they do get a significant speed boost, graphic capabilities, hd camera(software will come later), etc...
