I'm basing it on my experience with Nokia.

Yet another Harmattan device rumour thread.Ok I reiterate my whishes once again:
1ghz single-core Armv7, TI Omap will do fine.
4" OLED
Hardware keyboard
That's it. If the first device will not have a hardware keyboard I really think Nokia should make another one with, like N8 and E7.

In doing so though, you'd be giving up the ability to install and use any applications that require DRM. Indications are that the Ovi Store will no longer be a viable source of software for you, and proprietary Nokia applications such as Ovi Maps will likely be off-limits also.
Plus, this trip is one way. Once you switch your Harmattan device into "developer mode" to install MeeGo.com Meego, there's no way of switching back into closed, proprietary software-loving, DRM mode.
Personally I dont mind if DRM apps will not work.
Real Linux users doesnt want to use that kind of crap anyway.
But I guess many here is comming from a world full of garbage apps and closed ****. Hint: WINDOWS!

I am sure (hope) the community will find out a way to do it.
Since I bought the N900 and started reading this TMO I appreciated the open source community more and more. Now I always want a device with wich I can do whatever I want. Don't want to be a slave to the manufacturer. I pay for it and I want to decide what I am going to do with it.

The sad reality is that the N950 will likely have single core, not because Nokia thinks it is the right blend of performance / power usage but because Nokia management has no faith in MeeGo so they will only spend the minimum required to get the platform up and running. Maybe the only chance the N950 has to succeed is through software.

You cant expect ANY company to release both and fully open device at the same time expect them to have closed apps on it. You have too choose.
"Open or closed" simple is that.
Thats how bussines works. Same goes for Android and IOS.
