But, as far as I can tell, Meltemi is S40 with Swipe/Qt on top. Everything of rumor with some substance points to this configuration. Can anyone point to some info that originates from Nokia saying otherwise?

Yep. Elop and Microsoft would not allow Nokia to develop Linux phone as long the contract is in effect.

I heard information from Nokia Harmattan and Meltemi employees from this year, but I won't mention names. But it confirms Linux. Not Maemo/MeeGo-based, though.

So, nothing substantial. My bet is 95% S40, 5% Linux.

AFAIK, NOKIA doesn't believe in that... instead of cleaning the blackboard nokia will bring a cannon and destroy the whole wall..
then create a new wall, hang a blackboard on it and then write..

so we should expect a totally new OS from NOKIA instead if blend between S40 & Linux or something else...

Don't be surprised by people saying WP7 is a smartphone OS.

In the last months I've read a lot non-sense :
- Nokia N9 is not a smartphone because it hasn't WhatsApp, NetFlix, etc;
- Android, iOS or even WP7 has better "multitasking" than MeeGo Harmattan;
- Symbian isn't and wasn't a smartphone OS, but iOS was since the 1st day.

Well, S40 with Swipe/Qt is real

Besides, it makes sense to use S40 on low end, they are already doing it. Using Linux on low end does not make so much sense, but it does make some sense. It can be used as a plan B.

Not so much. Take a poll on this forum asking if Symbian is a real smartphone OS.
