I wasn't talking about the N900. I was talking about a properly released MeeGo device. It's not an officially supported device by Nokia for MeeGo despite being the baseline spec and hardware target for MeeGo.

You probably don't realise how fast Nokia could introduce meego on the market and make a difference.
Could have, would have, should have... didn't. Not even their own board thought they could have gotten the devices out.

If they'd put meego on the same hardware platform as e63, they could be selling it with similar features as before, but a 1/3 pricetag.
Did it happen? Yes/No only.

One of the benefits of using a real linux distro, is the ease of porting it to other hardware.
When it works, yes. It just didn't happen.
