yea the FCC have hoaxed us, really!

This is a recurring theme here at TMO/ITT when there is a long lull between device releases.... things do not change.

Come on... say it: Apple!

Some customers buy that phone, other companies see the counts, they are asking why the number of sales are that high, some marketing guy are answering: "because it's that extremely flat" and the manufactures copies this "feature" in the hope to sell their devices as good as the other does without understanding it is selling well because of the whole concept. Not because the missing lens cover. No! It's despite the missing lens cover.

In my opinion they haven't understood the main problem. If they only copy a design they can't generate that much money as the competitor does. If the customers are able to buy the original, why they should buy the counterfeit?
Sell something unique and you could get a appropriate market share if it is good enough.

The same with the not (or only hardly) removeable batteries (Nokia N8) or the not easily mountable flash storage at Windows Phone 7. (they have seen at Apple that it only works with iTunes, so they thought all customers want it this way and now you need a ZUNE compatible device, a Linux or Mac won't work)

The companies should stop trying to copy the iPhone and start to think themselfes how they could generate their own type of customers as MeeGo does. Hopefully with a Phone that fits in the MeeGo concept and not a iPhone copy&paste with MeeGo running on it.

Oh yes they have changed, they have gone and teamed up with the biggest software company on earth so i guess we wait with baited breath lol.

Talking about meego it looks like the future of meego lies with LG now not a post elopocalyps nokia
What will the lg meego device be like will they harmattan maemo6 or will they be real proper meego

When i seen this i just had to laugh but hell you never know it might very well come true.

They've been a hell of a long time coming, but Nokia's first MeeGo powered mobile may be launching next week. The Nokia N950, formally known as the N9 is the handset in question, with a recent FCC filing fueling speculation.

Can't imagine that LG would go for anything else than (possibly skinned) full MeeGo!?

Come on... we all want this to be true, no matter how much we know how small chances are for this...

we know for certain we will see it in next 30 odd days as they only filed for 45 days Privacy on the Manuals and pictures sent to FCC

You and i both and probably everyone on this forum .
