As far as I know nokia will contribute to the ecosystem, so their services (whatever they are, maps-related stuff for sure), will be used by all wp7 oems.

On a nokia phones they may be branded differently (e.g. nokia maps instead of bing maps).

I guess meego will be developed further to have an alternative OS, for the time when apps are not OS-specific anymore, and things happen in the cloud, or whatever.
