I'm not too sure I like the sound of that... Personally, I honestly LOVED the N900 BECAUSE it was not specific to mainstream. If I ever did want Facebook or Twitter, then I could just install of the apps made by member of this great community. But having it all already pre-installed and integrated part of the OS...sounds too much like WP7/Android/iOS... I really don't like the idea that Nokia wants to promote MeeGo to the general masses as I don't think normal people are just not ready yet for open source
N900 sold fraction of the amount of N8 which, to us, is a much inferior device in many many ways. N900 was also promoted with integrated IM by the way. It was the first phone ever to have integrated skype video as well. You obviously don't know N900 very well. If N900 didn't have a keyboard and was made more "non-geek" like, most likely it would have sold way more and we might actually have had more support. (such as full OVI maps for one)
I'm also in favour of having a hw keyboard. But if the hw keyboard version is inferior in terms of rest of the specs, I will most likely buy the non-hw-keyboard version still to ensure I get full experience of what Nokia intended for the OS.

Granted, this is not something mainstream would want. They're used to a monopolistic company that tells them what they need and should use.

"Mainstream" on the other hand is much more diverse than that.

Perhaps we're still able to dream of a future with WP7 for the low end Smartphones and MeeGo for hi-end full feature phones within Nokia?
I hope so. Nokia has still the best Hardware (perhaps except Apple - but Nokia has way better camera modules). I don't like Samsung, LG and HTC Hardware. If they will deliver our future Devices I hope they will fast catch up...

The lack of Nokia folks in this thread is somewhat alarming.
Where's the Quim's, the Peter@Maemo's... eh? Having the wonder-twins of leaked information neither confirm or deny 356+ pages of conversation and lack the ability to do so - NDA, they don't want to leak their source(s), can't take photos, can't measure the screens, can't do anything but hint, what not (keep it coming, it's all we got) - has honestly tempered my willingness to buy into the N9. I'm thinking about what services as well as integration will exist.
I mean... think about it. lcuk has been quiet lately. Mauku hasn't had an update in ages... Skype got bought by Microsoft (wait, that's good).
