I wish Nokia would just either confirm or deny the existence of the Dali/Lankku N9/N950 devices so I can decide whether or not I should upgrade my PC or save the cash for the Dali/Lankku.

The famous blue screen, less bloated, open source and therefore a community support (look at the Ubuntu software centre, you name it and you have it for free) ....
I must admit that WP7 could (not necessary) bring in better UI and graphics compared to Maemo / Meego
Personally I don't want to use windows on my handset, need a bit of freedom or choices for lack of correct words from of M$ it already controls desktop to text editor to spreadsheet to presentation to project management to email to ....... thankfully I have switched away from outdated IE to FF or Opera...
My N900 mainly gets used for communication so basically there are various IM's.. and web browsing.. i prefer the maemo browser to the firefox one.. never tried any other.. if IE is all that can be used on the WP7 then that could be a problem.. but otherwise everything else looks pretty good.
The UI for any MeeGo device would have to be very snappy to compete... and if there really is a device being released, i really hope it can compete..
I wouldn't take moving to WP7 lightly..

This thread will be an active topic until a device is released... and if one is never released, it'll probably still be going strong... full of more bullplop than before

MS's WP lacks it even more. And it's way more crippled than Android in political and technical sense. It's a totally closed platform, and MS doesn't release NDK for WP because of their monopolistic interests (thus making Qt port there impossible). Therefore the choice of WP wasn't wise for Nokia from all perspectives. If WP would have an NDK and Nokia could release a supported Qt port for WP - that would make some sense. But otherwise - no.
Meego is open, WP is closed and controlled by MS, who has one of the worst anticompetitve practices amongst other tech companies. The benefit of Meego - do what you want.

Then why bother?
From my pov, the reason I bother and so much want Meego and Linux to succeed as a mobile platform, is because I remember the not-so-ancient history where MS won over the desktop market and made it so that competition was stifled and snuffed out and innovation was limited to the path that MS allowed.
As a company, MS did what it should have done - increase it's bottom line. It ushered in the PC era. Kudos at a job well done. Apple is pretty much similar to MS in those respects.
I believe in balance. If the Apples and Microsofts of the world had complete control over the markets as once MS did, then there is no competition to keep them truthful.
I believe that Linux, Meego and the community that supports it, is the balance that will foster competition and innovation that will most benefit the users and consumers.
In summary, most consumers do not care about the future as much as they should when choosing a device. I do.
Maybe you should too.

before & pretty much since SF the FCC certification had to be for the so called developer device
whose function btw now seems to have been fulfilled by MeeGo 1.2 DE on the N900
why wouldn't RM-680 (if it isn't a Symbian device like all RM- devices before it) be the superdevice to be annonced in Singapore?

This screen talk reminds me of the "Haptikos" technology revealed years ago if old Nokia fans/followers remember. Was supposed to be cool new tech, but then dissapeared.
Search Haptikos or this link will help if not...
