Looks as good as the original screen shots of meego, Im really not to concerned about looks, that can always be changed, I would like to see it in action load times swiping etc that is what is important

truth is though many people around here won't be happy until there is a true Maemo successor. Tizen, Mer, Meego..thee just not Maemo.

Looking around, more and more functionality is being rolled into the mainline kernel. According to a page I saw recently, gsm modem, gps (depends on modem) and cameras are missing, but camera support is available outside the main tree. Call support, phonet?, seems to be the tricky point but it does exist in some form. CSSU devs are getting a better understanding of the internals of Maemo. Debian on N900 project for me looks quite promising, as a test bed or stripped back to basics and built on. Maybe one day someone will pull everything together to get the OS we all want.

Looks ok... But I doubt it will have a keyboard, being portrait mode and all. Most portrait mode phones don't have a keyboard. Or if they do, it's the super-tiny keys (like BB) that you need a toothpick to dial with.

Still, will be interesting to see when they release hardware specs.

With samsung you never know today, they are the new nokia, kicking *** in all segments and creating new ones. They can come up with something extremely geeky

Seems possible to see the first Tizen phone at MWC next month. If that is true, Samsung and team working very fast. Lets hope this is true and that they add a real keyboard

what do you think?
tizen is a joke. The framework sucks who the hell want to write apps in C this days? Except some geeks. There will be even more less pro apps for that platform than maemo6 has. We atleast has good devframework == qt+maemo6 and way cooler ui.

Who said something about C? Tizen apps are written in javascript and HTML5.

Programs (not apps, FFS!) written in C are heaven compared to javascript/html 5 Big bad Browser dubbing as operating system.

Yea, same here, but we're talking about reality, aren't we? Device like You described can be available only in one situation - when "You" (I mean, group of people/foundation/whatever, not You personally) design it, order it independently, and write things for it. See Open Pandora o Raspberry Pi (both not a phone, I know, but You understand what I'm talking about).
