What are the TMO thoughts on why this device isn't running Maemo or Meego?

I think that Nokia are keeping with their Symbian OS for now on some of their phones. It still is pretty much a successful and reliable OS.
Once Meego/Maemo has matured then maybe it will replace the symbian OS. Nokia still needs to sell mobiles and at least with Symbian there are no real issues as opposed to Maemo/Meego.

Seriously, does this need to be discussed again? Nokia's made it perfectly clear that Symbian is approaching mobile computing from the phone side and Maemo from the computer side.

My son is by btw enjoying my old N95 8G... still a GREAT phone.

They thought that the Nokia N8 was downgraded by a employee of Nokia, because it they were so dissapointed by the features it contained.....
