Can switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance?

Is Elop a trojan?

cut to scene: Elop popping out of a trojan horse with a party hat on and those things you blow on that swirl out and some signs that have meego with a red line through it and symbian with a red line through it and an I love windows tshirt and a bunch of Nokia employees looking at him like WTF?!!
Then Bill gates pops his head out from inside the horse and says see ya buddy and closes the lid and drives off.

I dont see the reason for all the sceptical-ism and controversy all the fact fall in together nicely and i see the going went like this
nokia made a couple hundred units (rm-680) to release in 2010 found out a major softw. prob like UI/UX issues like zek said so they went back to the blackboard by the time they fixed it the rm-680 wasnt fit for the market hardware wise so they a new device elop says it must be a slate so it appeals to masses and makes cash the new device is the rm-686 that k123 is testing out and to make use of the old rm-680 unit they flash them with the new software and give away to devs and the rm-686 hasnt made it through fcc yet or nokia stuck an apple like deal to keep the fcc quiet

Possible, but that's weird. Nothing wrong with making an updated one with hw keyboard. Of course Elop's point is not to promote Linux, but to push everyone into MS's hands. But since they are already releasing a device which is claimed to be N900's successor, they could have some conscience and could make it with keyboard too.

I came to think about the whole Hardware Keyboard topic... As much as I want a hardware keyboard in this device (and the N9 from the teaser is helluva sexy device to me, already fell in love with it ), I thought about the name "Nokia Internet Tablet". 770 and N800 didn't have HWKB either, consumer N9 also won't have it... so we'll get a 4" 720p Tablet/phone hybrid with some real nice software on it...

Guys, after thinking a little about it, and Harmattan is really that awesome as insiders tell us: Forget iPhone & iPad, forget Pre3 & TouchPad, forget BlackBerry & PlayBook... we get it all in one awesome device...

Besides: one question to insiders, hope someone can tell us: Will Harmattan support MS Exchange provisioning? Otherwise I cannot sync work PIM... that was one major problem for me with Maemo 5.

@ larux
yes I'm aware they've joined the handset working group but they also made it clear around the same time that they had no interest at this stage in developing a handset of their own.
I will happily stand corrected if they do bring some prototypes to the table.
the GW990 looked to have a lot of potential and it was surprising they dropped it at such a late stage last year

keep cool ,thats just a discussion of people with different opinions... thats human... have fun with it like i do... someone mentioned this thread is like csi... i say no, this thread is better

@topic hwkb:

lets believe that everyone here who wants to get a dev device, he will get it (nokie should have produce enough of it). and everyone else who wants an ultimate killer phone without a hwkb will wait a little bit more to get it. and will be even more amazed...

And everybody here who loved maemo will love meego and wont miss anything at his phone!

*peace*?

@marrat

The "leaked" harmattan packages list includes mail for exchange libraries and daemon, so would assume that it will
