- "Comes with Music" may be good. Depending on price point.

- If "Nokia NGage" is as big a brand as "Sony PSP" or ""Nintendo DS", then that would be a valuable name to tag on. Perhaps it is on some markets (latin america? africa? sony and nintendo covers usa and aspac very well in this department), but universally it isn't. So I don't see the added value here...

- PIM? As long as they carry over the features and advantages of their past versions. Unfortunately, they didn't do this on maemo 5. Look at Modest for crying out loud ;(

Lacking that integration and inclusiveness on DAY 1, and MeeGo will fail.

I agree that it will at least fail against the press reviews.

To be honest I think that each of your cons is far more negative than all of your positives combined.

Yes, that was my point...

Nokia still does have the biggest market reach though. If they make a homerun, they have a chance to make a fairly quick rebound?

If they can link their app store to the customers' phone bill and still make the prices reasonable, they can overstep Android Market and Apple's AppStore by a few steps ahead.
