Think. Where there were some true Nokians here they said that developing phone from scratch takes about 2 years. Let's say that with OS ready and dictated specs you could do it in half of the time. It means that you cannot expect "winning W7" device before next year. And if it will be released in 2011 it will be rushed, half finished product.

Will be there help from Symbian or MeeGo side (Elop announced there will be some models)? Nope. Because all people working on them will be looking for new jobs - there is no sense in keeping loyalty to company headed by Elop. So these devices also don't reach their full potential.
Interesting comments there but i think Nokia will have its fingers in many pies and as the W7 is not new i think with the intergration Microsoft will kick in and spend a lot of development time and manpower knowing it will be in its advantage for them and Nokia.

What worries me is whether they will give the N900 a look in and not bury it for the next device from Nokia.

As long as they create a much better OS for mobiles then it should not be much of a problem to adapt a full blown Windows OS for the N900.

Will it be everyones cup of tea? i very much doubt it but one thing for sure, as the N900 is almost fully open source it will not be hard to adapt pretty well anything for it.
Just have to wait wait and see... no change there haha.
