Maemo 5 is definitely the best handset OS in terms of multitasking,
Even though it's lacking some basic functions you see on other phones..

And i was hoping Meego could fix the disadvantages of Maemo 5,
BUT still retain its advantages..
Because i have faith in Meego Device and i'm definitely gonna buy one someday..
But with this UI?
What makes me and other consumers choose this?
when there's a bunch of Android devices out there with similar UI?

It's still beta i know,
that's why i hope you guys change your mind..
This is supposed to be Maemo/Moblin hybrid...
Not Android/IOS Hybrid


This comment reflects my own options so much that I could help but re-posting it here for the community to discus. If Nokia makes a Meego device running a UI like this than they might as well just start making android devices cause this is looking like it is going to suck big time. Another wanna be iphone UI like the OG poster said. WTF?!?! Maemo 5's UI is so kick *** . . . Nokia just needs to finish tweaking it and come out with a FLEET of devices both mobile and tablet. Both high end to low end that are running it Maemo and they would murder the game.

When I use Maemo it feels like I am using the future of TOUCH SCREEN COMPUTING . . . ipad is cool with it's sexy little UI and BIG screen but the multi-tasking capabilities in Maemo are not only sexy the provide much needed possibility for much more productivity.

If Nokia doesn't turn "THEIR" Meego Mobile Devices in the direction of Maemo 6 than I hope somebody picks up the Mer Source and builds some more kick *** mobiles and tablets with it because that UI is too good to let it go to waste.
