i'm wondering if they are depending on the release of QT 4.8 before they can release the consumer harmattan device?

Ok, here's what I think Nokia should do: Release the developer device today and sell it only from their webshop possibly empty and let people install what they want on it and let the maemo/meego community fix bugs and write apps. Then they should upgrade Harmattan to MeeGo and base it on MeeGo 1.3 and release the consumer device when that's done.
Edit: Releasing the consumer device with Maemo6 is a VERY bad idea!

Edit: And the MeeGo N900 DE edition should be covering the N950 too. More or less the same hardware so shouldn't be that hard.

Knowing Nokia, "later this year" could easily mean Q5.
At this point, I don't even understand why there is a consumer device if it isn't an geek device. Who other than us could possibly want this premature, futureless device?

And who is to say that MeeGo 1.3 will be any more mature than 1.2 with all the changes planned for it.

Edit: And there should of course be two consumer devices, one with hwkb and one without.

If the consumer device as been put back till late summer/early Autumn like stated in this thread somewhere, then you can expect next to 0 marketing.
As that is when Nokia's next gen Symbian devices and Win Phone 7.5 devices are due.
So expect a sales failure caused from within just so they can justify killing MeeGo/Harmattan from having a Nokia mass market Future
