I'll keep my n900 for sure for long time, it has all I need and satisfies quite well my gnu/linux on the phone love.

I think I'll skip the first meego device as I do not think it will be a major hardware upgrade, and will buy fore sure the second, but *only* if Nokia will *not* tempt me with closed branded components that offers advanced thinghs (voice recognition, voice assisted navigation, and so on) *without* backport them (or the meego version supporting them) on older devices, becouse that will mean that after some months the second meego device will die.

(well this is the worst scenario! really I'm thinking that Nokia, with meego, is going to change its way of manage the highend line, transforming them in a platform as other competitors do, so I'm quite optimistic, becouse doing the opposite will leave its devices as a excellent gifts but with no attraction for developers and partners, in that case I'll not have a problem to discute).

About the N8, I have a *real* interest in creating a small company with some my friends linux/qt enthusiastic, to develop payed qt apps for the ovi store (that explains better the previous point, backports mean more buyers), if that will become a reality for sure I'll buy a couple of devices to test apps
