Is that not the case?
Qgil said:
The MeeGo Handset UX announced by the TSG to go public this month basically consists of the MeeGo Touch Framework and a set of reference applications maintained by the MeeGo project.

The MeeGo based device announced by Nokia to go public on 2H2010 will have the software release codenamed Harmattan and a UX that basically consists of the MeeGo Touch Framework and a set of applications decided by Nokia.
To me that sounds like the main visible difference will be in the applications rather than the overall UI. Of course, Nokia might supply their own themes for the UI, but the general way it works sounds like it will be the same in the MeeGo project release and the Nokia release.
