Great, I did think about adding a rider to my above UX criticism along the lines of "MeeGo is of course alpha/beta etc." but I have no idea if the available UX is representative of what Nokia intend to ship, or not (hopefully not). Perhaps some clarification on that would help as the current MeeGo Handset UX is very plain and very dull, and clearly needs a lot more work for it to be competitive (even with Fremantle).

So are you saying the currently available MeeGo Handset UX is unrepresentative of what will finally ship? If so it's probably stating the obvious as MeeGo on handsets will get panned in it's current state, but would be good to hear officially (I have missed any official announcements to that effect). Is there an approximate ETA for when the updated UX will start to become available in the codedrop builds?
