Sounds like the N9 & the N950 are one and the same device now.
As far as your spec is concerned think about this logically is Elop going to allow the Nokia meego device be far superior to anything running M$ in a few moths time, that would be a marketing disaster for nokia & M$?
Looking on the bright side for any N900 users the nearer the spec to our phones the better as we should then be able to run Meego OS apps etc made for the new device

I can only assume there is a legal reason for producing a MeeGo phone, maybe something between Nokia and Intel. But Nokia have dumped everything else (even QT (to a company noone has ever heard of) and Nokia Maps (to replace Bing maps in Windows mobile) ) like a hot potato.
Wrong OviMaps will MERGE with Microsoft. Thats one of the reason Microsoft was soo desperate. Microsoft needs that.
Sold QT what the hell are you talking about? Link please?

Don't forget that this is not MeeGo. It's Harmattan, which is Maemo with the MeeGo APIs. However they will be porting the MeeGo DE to the device, which could be used as a very good basis for a community supported platform (especially if the MeeGo project has rights to rebuild/redistribute any non-open bits.)
But any buy would happen ONLY if the above were true AND it significantly exceeded the N900's capabilities.
Except those "apps" that is not allowed to be opensourced. But I dont see them as "Harmattan core" anyway.
I am expecting a Nokia:s "Qt-components for Meego" in the GIT repository in about two weeks from now. And that means Harmattan in the most is already merged too meego IF intel(and the community) allows them too add it to Meego 1.3.

Yes i've wondered about that, so it could be interesting to see how this unfolds. Maybe hear next week?
But as this isn't a true MeeGo phone but is Harmattan, maybe it won't receive the updates. Have to see. If it can do what the N900 can do but with updated hardware and can receive MeeGo updates from Intel, i will want it.

Assuming Meego os is an improvement on maemo os then I can see it being a far superior os to WP7 running on similar hardware. If not we may as well just by a WP7 device anyway as no doubt it will have far greater support.

King is back!
Last we heard, the Nokia N9 rode Stephen Elop's burning platform into the sunset, never to be seen again. Today, there's a FCC filing that begs to differ. Wireless Goodness spotted that RM-680 in the always-helpful government database, where it claims support for six cellular frequencies as well as Bluetooth and 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n WiFi -- enough to appear on most any GSM carrier, to say nothing of AT&T and T-Mobile. Will the MeeGo-packing QWERTY-sliding hardware that Eldar Murtazin called "near perfect" appear in the US or Canada one day? We don't think it's terribly likely, but if it comes with a dash of Windows Phone 7 on board, we can't promise not to jump for joy. See the full list of bands after the break.
King is back!

Lots of people care about those, and now that the market has a number available then releasing old hardware just makes you look bad.
With luck, they've reused the chassis but updated the guts. I hope so, OMAP3 will be a joke otherwise.
But fact is this handset can be more optimized for the CPU/GPU than new hardware with DualCore and so on. Are we even sure Android is optimized for those DualCores comming atm?
Personally I am perfecly fine with a small upgrade of the CPU/GPU.
As long as it has it has good HWkey, bigger screen and better batterytime and the MeegoHarmattan runs smothly like in the case of N900.
I mean N900 still can compete with some crap Androids released today.
