Although, it might make you feel slightly (only very, very slightly) better to know that Chinese workers are starting to demand higher wages and rights akin to the late 1930 revolts and unions in the US--they're even taking that step of unionizing and the government in China doesn't seem to mind. I'm a little confused by that last detail, considering everything else they won't tolerate, but I suppose they're maturing... slowly, but maturing. This MIGHT mean that they're going to become less cheaper as the population begins to demand more middle-income lifestyles. At least, I seem to recall multiple news reports to that effect. If I come across one again, I can let you know, if you really want some of that kind of news.

Interesting. It looks like the white version (or white cased version) also appears at the end of that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQYSradMJ_0

It is more the unibody approach, as seen in Apple's Macbook Pro which would have the cost impact. I don't think there is *that* much difference between machining aluminium and polycarbonate, I think in both cases the limiting factor in production time is heat dissipation, so machining speeds will probably be quite similar.

Huh? This was about the manufacturing of the *shell* of the phone, you know, the same one that was shown on the SeaRay, so possibly an indication that they will use the same process for WP7, and possibly Symbian, phones.

Also they maybe didnt get a good deal with Texas instrument and instead goes for Qualcomm and as we know WP7 is already ported. Meego is not
Huh? No, WP7 is *only* ported to Qualcomm, *not* TI, whereas Linux (e.g. all those Android phones) is already ported to Qualcom. There should be minimal work involved in "porting" Meego (since the majority of the platform that needs hardware-specific work is, you know, the *kernel*, which has some commonality between Android and Meego).

And of course, Meego *does* run on Qualcomm.

Part of the benefit Nokia would have had with moving to the real Meego platform would have been the easy adoption of newer upstream kernel work (hopefully including contributions from other handset vendors). Whether or not Harmattan would be able to do so is probably only an academic question now.

But, with all your posts on Meego so far, surely you should have known all of this already?

Ballmer: "Windows Phones aren't selling very well, but we're not worried".

Give us the N9 in all countrys and also more MeeGo devices. You'll sell them all.

funny how oflate, engadget has really dropped in content.... (not that quality was ever great in the first place)

often you see this single paragraph posts, which explain jack$hit, and then prompt readers to discuss among themselves....
