Hopefully. Engadget suxxx big time!

If you take a look at the graph, Meego doesn't have the biggest share of the focus(obviously), but it is still there. Mind you, that's 5 years from now and who knows what can happen between now and then?
This graph is from earlier this year, from the Elopocalypse... And the 2016 refers to Symbian only. The graph itself is about Symbian also, the reduction of the MeeGo share seems fair with the overall reduction. Elop never threatened MeeGo, Nokia has always maintained it as a long-term strategical move, for "future disruptions". It only lost the promise to be the next big kahuna in the portfolio.

Who's a downer, what situation? People are just anticipating disappointment about specs, and anxious while waiting... But I'm sure most will end up liking it when they have Jessie's girl in their ARMs late, late at night .

The OS doesn't have a whole lot things helping, but the hardware could be the one place that anyone could easily say would fix it. Settling for a so-so OS to get better hardware probably isn't worth it
I think the whole idea for WP7 is that Nokia will release great phones, with a new OS version that will be very attractive and cool. So it's not like any other company deciding to release some crappy phone with WP7, it's a real "synergy"... That's the idea at least.

Many hints point to an announcement of the "N900 successor" in June. Maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe later (during or after the Nokia event in Singapore.) A Nokia device ("RM-680") was accepted by the FCC, and everyone is pretty much sure this is it. Very unlikely it's either Symbian WP7 or S40, etc.

If it runs Linux, and can be "rooted" easily like all previous NITs, that's what I want. I only hope it doesn't have problems like N900's USB connector, etc. I'll wait a few weeks after release until we are sure about these possible flaws, and also waiting until the price gets below $500!...

It will, at least it will be "easy" for the advanced users of this community who will want to do so.

But the price/specifics are not known and Nokia is hoping that it might be able to also sell a version of the phone that is commercially subsidized, etc., supported and we know that means. So the general outlook for a successful product is unclear.

It's almost funny how that's now acceptable to not have root out of the box, yet it wasn't just a while back when it was on Android or other mobile OS's.

It doesn't come with root, that's a few steps backwards.

Can anyone please point me to the latest summary of 100% known FACTS?
I haven't been following this thread in real-time, & don't have time to catch-up from where I left it about 6-days ago.

Thank-you very much if you're across all the latest detail, and can help out.

No Maemo device ever had root access enabled out of the box, we always had to enable R&D mode or install a third-party package first.

New name for "MeeGo 1.2 Developer Edition for Nokia N900"? Howabout "MeeGo 1.2 Developer Edition for Nokia N900 Because Nobody Else Is Making MeeGo Phones I Mean Seriously Can Somebody Get On That Already?"

But more seriously, if it's to be device agnostic, something like "MeeGo 1.2 Community Handset Edition" might be the most appropriate.

If you look within service manuals for n810 you will also notice "Not for sale - property of nokia"
