This is the part I'm surprised about - that Nokia thinks they can get a stable Maemo phone this soon with seamless and hesitation free interaction between telephony functions and the rest of the device. Or maybe they don't and it will be as buggy as the 770 was at first...

True that^...

Unless the beta testers were all aliens and there is a parallel universe. I can't see how a Maemo phone won't need massive amounts of community support.

That is why I believe because of price, availability, and the durability of the Diablo devices it will be 3 or 4 months before any veterans of the display wars will contribute any thing meaningful. During that time this community will shrink or only this dang thread will grow and the Maemo phone will go over like a fart in an elevator.

I suspect Nokia will release it when it's ready. Remember nothing has been announced yet.

By the By: This video shows that the N97 indeed uses a BP-4L battery. It may be an indication that the N900 may use the same (similar size), which could mean a spare battery for most of the folks here who purchase one.


YARR!

Finally I could catch up on this long thread (at the expense of my Danish sleeping time).

There was one post that got many thanks that started saying...

Yes, this is part of a real story.

The rest of your post borders pure fantasy though, in the category of Conspiracy Theory. That's ok since being outside of the Maemo team you have no easy way to check the facts. From the inside is clear though that the core people that had a brilliant idea and pursued it through the first Maemo releases and Internet Tablets are more or less the same that are pushing Fremantle, Harmattan and compatible devices.

Some concepts and ideas are just the same, some others have naturally evolved with the experience, releases, data acquired, feedback received and lessons learned. Innovation and business as usual.

I can't speak for everybody, but I would say all the old-timers involved in Fremantle development think Maemo 5 and the hardware coming with it are the right steps forward. We have never got the kind of discussions you are having here at length and this makes me think that most of you will be just as excited when you get the real stuff we are working on announced, explained and working in your hands.

And now I should really go to sleep.
