It would be excellent too, when they will have plans to make Maemo third main line too (but not in the most expensive devices only !).

That squares with its refusal to associate the phone with T-Mobile in the US, thus meaning that there will be no phone-based technical support in the US. And, based on my reading, I expect that Nokia will not take consumers seriously until (perhaps) Maemo 6. Very well, I will tune back in when Maemo 6 is released.

It will not drive a TV screen, and it has a primitive OS compared with Maemo. But it also runs on the US's best carrier and is a world phone to boot. And, its OS is a hell of a lot better than Symbian.
