There was a Nokia employe who said that Maemo will be taking N series as a whole in November. After that Nokia had official statement saying that the roadmap is yet too premature to say things like that. Believe it or not.

Giving N series to Maemo while Symbian keeps X, C and E series makes sense to me. Maemo still doesn't have the business capabilities that Symbian got so it can keep the other high end side, E series.
