There is one third party closed driver (SGX), the rest of the closed code (which is most of maemo 5) is code by Nokia which is closed by Nokia decision.
Just to show you how stupid this claim that Nokia wants stuff open, but is forced to close by third parties:
770 - Nokia power chips - closed BME - can't be replaced.
N800 - Nokia power chips - closed BME - can't be replaced.
N810 - Nokia power chips - closed BME - can't be replaced.
N900 - TI power chips - closed BME - can be replaced, because we have all the needed information.
See the difference between Nokia and third parties?

In Nokias limp defense, they did say this device and OS were a stepping stone.
The irony is all they had to do was release Flash 10.1 and a lot of the other accumulating issues would be forgotten. How hard world that have been?
The death of HAM is a little exaggerated. It is defiantly smaller in modern times but there are still a few million of us around the world.

I really have my doubt on "Worth it" part mate.
Nokia always behind competitors in term of OS and hardware. Usually Nokia selling an underpowered device at higher price or equally the same as the competitors.
Eg: N97-mini is the same price as NexusOne and almost the same as Iphone4.
Specs wise Nokia got a lot of small pieces in one package but high spec wise Nokia have ARM11 and low RAM.
Not sure if N9 is going to be over the competitors when we are talking about specs and OS here. Also supporting the device may be the biggest part. Apple has world wide warranty, Droid I don't know, but Nokia is country wise warranty.
N9 will be a undoubtedly expensive and the hardware will not surpassing any devices released in the same year. Question is should we still trust in Nokia to be the early adopter of MeeGO? From Maemo5 point of view (early adopter), it left a big Question mark on my forehead.
Hmm... A8 Processor... Hmm..."?"
Apple are famous to overprice.. they normaly take double the price for what it is worth.

Thank Matan for the infor. OpenSource Device.. Opensource OS but yet closed Apps and Drivers lol. How is that Opened according to GNU? Nokia is very silly. Not much we can do. Got to live with the controlled environment.

However, one thing confuses me a bit, what way is Nokia going to take when they now have both Symbian 3 and MeeGo. Are they going to divide their phones in two segments, where some get Symbian, and some get MeeGo. Isn't that somewhat confusing on their market focus, especially since they should keep themselves strong in the competition, iOS, Android and now Windows Mobile 7.
I'm curious about what strategy they have in mind.
Hinted at all future N Series devices being MeeGo but that is not sure. We may see Symbian^4 on an N Series in the future
But yes Symbian and Meego will run in parallel.
Symbian 3 and 4 will continue to be a smartphone OS Nokia Meego Devices will be thought of more as pocket computers.
Having seen some Leaked images of the N9 in other threads (to be taken with a pinch of salt). The device very much looks along those lines. Think 4inch MacBook with phone functions.
If Nokia goes this way I will be very happy. This is exactly what I want from a phone. But I think I am a small user base.

No. Because he didn't want to pay over and over again for updates.
