Well we all know that a N9 with hw kb will come out eventually, and I'm really skeptical that the first MeeGo entry from Nokia wouldn't be it from the get go.

Because of the second factor of it being uncertain how far the Nokia MeeGo device will play along with other versions of MeeGo, I'm just going to sit this one out until both factors are to my pleasing:

HW KB + total compatibility with other MeeGo devices and updates to core MeeGo = win. Before this is true then I won't be getting one.
