Confidential sources have now informed me it's actually GNU/Hurd running a modernized twm. Nokia are pissed Linus went with Android and decided to start from scratch. Intel will be informed tomorrow, and the applications are all raw Xlib.

Nokia is far too slow. Always having delays. Why can't they be like Apple and announce a release date and meet that date.
It is in a very problematic position right now. It's flagship device, N900, is not a mass market device and is not being readily sold anymore. It's claimed flagship deviced, N97, is like the most poorly rated smartphone.
Meanwhile there are loads of amazing android phones coming out as well as iphone 4 just released. It needed to get N8 out as soon as possible not postpone its release till September. Most people upgrading now will skip the current Nokia phones and will be unwilling to wait till September for the N8. They will just go to Android or iphone. So Nokia is losing potential customers each day it delays. They also needed to release videos or something of N9 as soon as possible for those who have no interest in symbian and may be considering getting an android or iphone. But that cannot happen now because they have to wait for N8 to come out before revealing anything of N9.
Of course better to delay to make sure everything is working whoell before release but when did Nokia do that? They will delay and probably still release a buggy device.

in my opinion, it really won't matter which OS it is. Nokia will likely NOT use the reference UI, and customize its own solution based loosely on that reference UI using the Qt UI toolkit used for both OSes.
I thought that was the entire point of buying Qt: To unify the app ecosystems and UIs of both their software platforms to remove fragmentation. You can also have UX fragmentation, but using a similarly styled UI paradigm for both OSes solves the issue.
So if this is more than just a marketing mockup (and I doubt it is...), it will likely be the basic look of BOTH OSes. The big difference will be the extended app ecosystem from MeeGo with GTK and the like.
In essence, we're all right in the end. Its NOKIA's UI. That will be how they brand/differentiate their devices, and how they unify their experience, regardless of cost or hardware.
