Any updates if a device with hardware keyboard will be available at all for those outside Nokia?

LMAO I guess it never ****ing ends.

I kindoff knew abt this this info was there at thenokia blog

Isn't LG also going to present some meego prototypes too?

Let's see if they give us a keyboard and good build quality and decent camera.

Sorry to be the bearer of (already) OLD news.
LG are not currently looking at Meego for handsets.
The GW990 was dumped ages ago and the company are now currently focussing Meego efforts on IVI and smart TV

I don't agree. LG recently joined to Handset working group and they are going to demonstrate some handset/tablet protos too. Your info is way too old :-)

One of many links (I was too lazy to search official WG announcement): http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/03/...-ivi-smart-tv/

EDIT: better (official) data: (http://trac.tspre.org/meetbot/meego-...06.00.log.html)

06:13:23 <ibrahim> I am really excited to announce that ZTE is joining the MeeGo project and they wil start participating in the Handset WG.
06:13:35 <ibrahim> For those who are not very familiar with ZTE, it is a global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions - ZTE is present in more than 140 countries.
06:13:52 <ibrahim> The primary ZTE contact for MeeGo Handset WG will be Ms. Guo Jing (Jill) and she will be sopported by three software engineers - Mr.Gao Bin, Mr.Yuan Bo and Mr. Zuo Cheng who will be interfacing with us as entry point to their internal MeeGo team.
06:14:19 <ibrahim> For today's TSG, I'd like TSG to approve the nomination of Ms. Jing for the Handset WG. We're very excited to add a handset manufacturer to MeeGo.
06:14:43 <DawnFoster> Any questions for Ibrahim about this nomination?
06:14:47 <mskarpne> Hi Ibrahim - very glad to see ZTE joining the WG and a warm welcome to Ms. Jing!
06:14:53 <ibrahim> Thx Mark
06:15:04 <ibrahim> Btw, We also have more handset manufacterors in the pipieline for MeeGo! I will be announcing these in the next TSG hopefully as I receive the nominations from their HQ.
06:15:29 <thiago> can we get a sneak peek on the companies?
06:15:42 <ibrahim> Current participants in Handset are China Mobile, LGE, ZTE, Intel and Nokia.
06:15:45 <Jeff_LGE> We welcome and expect strong collaboration with ZTE to make MeeGo handset production sooner.
06:16:07 <ibrahim> @thiago: 1-2 weeks is not too long to wait for :-)
06:16:22 <thiago> I never claimed to be very patient :-)
06:16:32 <thiago> thanks for the good job anyway

I take it back as I don't see this

in this

I hope Nokia will have some sense, and will make both devices available for general public.

Yes bro, I would like to buy both pieces of technology. I want to give message to mr. Flop, but also I want best possible Linux gadgets at the moment!

Give my gadgets! NOW! I have enough money already reserved for this!

Damn, I missed post 2000

Please tell me just before post 3000. I want it.
