nicola.mfb: for most of the juicy harmattan details, we have to wait for the Harmattan SDK alpha/beta release. Until then, Nokia policies forbid their employees (who do know all of these details) from releasing that information to the public (that would be us). While its a bummer, I hope that most people realize that breaking those kinds of policies can have severe consequences for the employee responsible, so please don't ask them to risk their jobs.

As for the Nokia assistance regarding the closed parts, there have been a bunch of posts in this thread which confirm that they will provide help, but they aren't going to provide consumer level support (that's what "official support" really means to Nokia). Which is wonderful news indeed :-)
