RX-61 : Something to showcase Maemo 6
RX-71 : The HOLY device. Destination reached!

I think, that's the reason why we are seeing something RX-71 in the current context.

EDIT: Oops! Just noticed, I replied to a month-and-a-half old thread!
you know, for some reason what you wrote, makes to me, sense
ill buy the N900 and in 2yrs replace it with the ultimate thing...but first i need to push Nokia to remake the EU keyboards lol

I want what I've been saying all along: Effectively, an N800-like device: two full sized SDHC slots--preferably, with at least one I can get at without opening dumb door or kickstand with, no cell phone, keep it cheap but effectively a little computing device like the N800. Take what was a SUCCESSFUL and UNIQUE market and improve on it--not morph it into an iPhone wannabe. :P heh

I totally agree with you that there should have been an N800 upgrade (no key board and a gps that works). The only thing that I didn't like about my N800 was the lack of gps. A $30 bluetooth gps receiver took care of that limitation. By the way, I totally removed my kickstand.

Hmm the idea could be most phones have GPS, and they can export it via BlueTooth, allowing your N800 or N800-follow-up-device to use that.

I inadvertantly removed mine. This was one of a couple of elements that kicked off a lot of my rants about my lousy experiences with Nokia's aftermarket support for parts and repairs.

BTW: I wouldn't know where to check, but are there still any traces of this mysterious RX-71 in the current code or is it gone for good? (I assume it is, otherwise the speculation wouldn't have stopped...)

No news about rx-71.

The code did not vanish but there is no new RX-71 code added. From the changelog it feels to me like they branched the source and keep rx-71 version elsewhere (which is normal). Also some comments do mention rx-51-specific version of something so there are definitely other versions of same thing. But this is not news, it is understandable that there are more devices in the pipeline.

It is an interesting aspect, though, because at the moment there's two theories:

While everybody assumes there will be more Maemo devices in the future, some seem to be deeply convinced that the N900 will remain the only Maemo 5 model and any following handset will already run Maemo 6.

Others believe that there will be at least one more Maemo 5 model and Maemo 6 is too far away to think of it hardware-wise.

Having what you describe in the code for Maemo 5 makes a 2nd M5-model more realistic, doesn't it?

Those who have been reading Mobile-review.com know about Eldar and Eomer. You can decide what you believe, but both have said that there is one more Maemo 5 device after n900(the normal story of qwertyless, more megapixels and Eomer said that it's the first phone to take the HD future of Nokia... whatever that means).
Third phone would have Maemo 6.
