Ze,
just came to realize that the competition doesn't add up anymore
to put it bluntly
"the winner(s) of the developing competition will receive a developer device"
that doesn't make any sense, does it?
the development job is already done by then
what would make sense is to give the winners the same device as will be sold & let them do grassroots advertisement (uploading videos, posting on forums, blogging & all)

for eg there are people who fear what if they like the n9 device and it ends up being cancelled
would nokia break their hearts ?

Problem is, whoever they gave all the MeeGo developer devices to doesn't seem to be entering the contest...

had no idea what your 1st sentence was referring to
maybe others do his phone calls for him, so he hasn't a clue about that neither
Here's the reference...

and Sony goes Mylo
then Intel goes MeeGo
Microsoft goes Mango
so Apple will go iMagino
...and the Apple iMagino will invent realtime multitasking and you'll need the new, magic iTunes version to sync the phone, so you'll have to buy the new service pack to OS/X for that.

Not sure if you've used WP7 phone yet or not, but I have and the UI and the experience it gives to the everyday joe's is much better than Maemo5/Symbian^3 imo. That's quite a feat for something so new in terms of UI. It is silky smooth and is very pretty. What many non-geeks really like. Heck, even I was impressed how "nice" everything looked and felt.
As for WP7 I have played with 3 devices and found them all rather frustrating, counter intuitive, and lacking polish... Granted they may have all been the same device, I don't remember and my friends that had them are not phone people so they don't remember the manufacturer or model number. 2 of them got rid of theirs after less then a month out of frustration and grabbed Android Phones.
I will say this about WP7, yes the interface is smooth and has eyecandy, but I can't help but say it is all form and presentation and no function.
