There has to be a two-tier approach as MeeGo/Maemo (or any superphone oriented OS) would really be painful on today's low-to-mid smartphone hardware - remember, it's not just about superphones, especially with Nokia BTW did you just list S60 as a dumphone OS ? That is in fact what will slowly get phased out in favor of Symbian^3, later ^4. As for the N8... There was no point in delaying it to 2011, as even today, it's below N900 specs (multimedia section notwithstanding).
