Now that's interesting. I remember having seen a short video from the Q&A after the keynote and I thought I'd remembered something like a firm "data only" in regard to Maemo 5... I have to admit, though, that I can't recall the exact question, so it's interesting to learn that this answer could as well have been about the one specific piece of code they added to the kernel.

If this is so... and if maybe there is voice in the N900... the whole thing makes less and less sense to me. What's the strategy then? It'll be just another phone, not even a good one. I'll buy it anyway, I guess, I'll have been waiting for too long.
