Indeed. "soon" means nothing over at Nokia. Thinking we where originally supposed to see MeeGo device last year.
That said i still believe we will see announcement of dev device in months time. Harlows comments just don't change that to any direction.

here's the deal: we will announce a MeeGo-based device this year and will make that announcement at the appropriate time. Thanks.

LOL

Is this for real? If so, that's a real a-hole comment. It would serve us all to just move on and just come back when something is announced. I'm sure they are getting an enormous kick out of having us on baited breath for a stupid phone. This is just ridiculous..

Can mean anything. Example saying it in a nice way that strong support isn't there and is heavily community orientated. Meant for linux nerds, early adopters.
In other words N900, second edition.

Again i don't mind, if they could just announce it already!

that looks awfully similar to E7

From usually negative comments, I strongly agree with what you wrote this time, specially what I had quoted. No matter what device comes out, it will never fit our technological needs (talking about the people in here). Tell me you wouldn't be happy with a dual-core 1.5ghz, 1.5GB ram, 128gb storage. And don't tell that technology doesn't exist, we already have mobile 2ghz quad-cores, but the demand for it doesn't exist yet.

I for one, would like to procure myself the dev device asap to replace my (usb-less) N900 until the real consumer device comes out. No matter what the specs or the price is, I just don't see anything better until Intel starts making tabletphones in 2012.
