3. Step 4 and step 5 will have radical hardware differences
4. N810 stopped getting support after an year because it had major HW differences (opengl used with the homescreen etc...)
5. The goal for nokia is to reach step 5 and when that happends, Maemo will be mainstream os

at least for me the conclusion is pretty obivous... and MeeGo didn't probably alter the outcome at all.

source for 1,2,3 and 5: nokia keynotes sept 2. 2009 by Vanjoki and Kallasvuo
(you probably don't need to search the sources for 4. too long...)
