T3 is a leading gadget magazine here in the UK. According to the latest edition (Dec 2010) the N9 will be launched i the first quarter of 2011 with the meego os.

T3 claims that Nokia are hoping the new os will erase all those bad memories we long time Nokia users had with symbian.

So can we expect the N9 before April? My personal prediction is no. I don't think Elop will risk his reputation. He'll want absolute surity that meego can be a real threat to the other operating systems out there before launching it on the world.

Nokia cannot afford to launch another os that fails to take on Android and Apple head to head, regardless of how good the hardware is.

Just my personal assessment.

Cheers
