There are NO meego devices and even if there were, there is no software to run on them and even if there was there is no gui to organise it. I want to like meego so much but it is just a relentless saga of fail.
But at least there is an n950 version almost ready. Herp derp F-OFF plebs, your not 1337 enough to be in the meego club.
Finally, someone tells it like it is for a change.

For everyone else, perhaps you need to wait until releases are made where these key essentials do actually work, yes.

1.3 (as expected) caused a lot of upsets to functionality for various reasons, as a lot changed. This has now mostly settled down, and *most* things work again.
Regardless, my personal intention is to have it usable as a day to day device, and that's what I'm working towards.

Hope you understand: I'm not trying to attack with this, just sharing some of the position as it is.

Though, truth be told, my faith in Nokias business sense died during the period Feb. 9th to Feb 11th.
