Some high end users may want no keyboard, some may want one. Some business users may want none, bb-style, or n97-style. Same for mid range.
I'm glad they offer so many options, and it seems like they're working to keep the internals as similar as possible.
But, options don't always mean more sales as proven by Apple. Nokia needs to slim down and focus on a few models.
That's just my opinion.

I don't know why Nokia needs 16 different models. It's harder to support and more difficult to manage internally. I think part of the reason the iPhone is so polished is because that is the only phone Apple works on. Not 16 different iterations of the almost the same thing.

I wonder if Nokia will make the necessary drivers available such that buyers of the N9 will be able to use community builds of MeeGo that allow greater customization than their default.
Hopefully they won't go full ****** on us.

It's not it's too hard for Nokia to manufacture model with different color or form factor anyway, S40 is cheap, etc etc.

Quite the opposite imo. The more the (MeeGo) devices, the more the adoption of MeeGo will be. And this will drive more developers to the platform and directly/indirectly lead to a vast (and perhaps quality) Application library.
The fact that Qt & Linux can be served in such a cross-platform solution will only multiply that.
For once I see that Apple is actually playing catch-up in its own field. I mean Apple started the smartphone revolution but HTC expanded it with the G1 and Nexus One. So the best chance for MeeGo is today and if it could serve killer hardware, great software integration, include tasty functions (from desktop os linage) and show promise by releasing a tablet (its the craze) with 1:1 App compatibility with the phone device.
These are all possible, perhaps even easy with the tools (Qt), that needs to be available now. As soon as Froyo arrives, iPhone 4 released and the Google tablet is released, things are going to look more obsolete for MeeGo.
Imo still MeeGo phones should be unique very high end coming from Nokia. Other manufacturers can of course build as many MeeGo phones as they want and it's all great for Nokia and Intel.
No hardware QWERTY and offer me the same virtual keyboard the N900 has? I'd be very incensed.
