Palm Pre has been overclocked to 1GHz too.

every day i wonder more and more if nokia can pull it off....i hope they can but my gf just moved fom an iphone to a htc desire. 2 days ago android wasnt on my radar, as the last time i saw it was on the G1.. it is scary how far it has come in that time, and how much further it will be by the time we see the n9...

Meego is already too fragmented to create one seemless ux from device to device... ovi store, appup store, then when we get suse meego we will see 'suse store powered by app up', then linpus will want their own... at least android has a central marketplace for all devices...

the only really impressive demo we have seen so far was running on top of windows 7 (the tablet ui) which probably explains why it looks NOTHING like the netbook and handset versions that are both simiarly themed...

hm... this post came out more negitive than i expected, in short i want meego to do well and i know they have until october to get 1.1 up to scratch, but the odds arnt completely in their favour and i dont think they have convinced me yet it can be a viable mass market ptoduct....

geek's and power users will most probably not like meego UI but its not that genre they are trying to please any more so lets wait until there is devices with it on and then the mass market will decide.
i honestly think it will do very well b/c there is already multiple vendors and carriers on board and its not even out, that's more support than Maemo as had in 4 years

Nokia's latest advertising strategy for the n900 seems pretty desperate:

What, how, when?
I's not getting its.

I don't know, I just found it typing in n900 into youtube!!

Another thing to consider is that WebOS may not be dead. HP acquired it and we have yet to see what HP will do with it.

WebOS is too early in its life to call.

like gerbrick I hope I too am wrong about this and I hope that I am suprised

Every year nokia moves away from the company once I knew to something a bit stranger.Meego will still be opensource how ever, I just hope they improve their ui in mobile phones from something like a android wannabe masscot to something unique

I also think moving to meego is a big risk,and it might have bigger cost than the n97

I think that Nokia has been running on bluster for some time and will not be able to make anything substantial out of step 5 out of 5 even with the help of Intel. I think that the next really big thing is very possibly coming from someone we haven't heard of yet.

My thought for MeeGo is pretty much the same to Maemo5 OS. If they want to make their phone selling at a good rate then OS alone will not take them anywhere.

I believe if they redesign and make their device as slick as possible, eliminate any ugly duckly pastic cosmetic and thickness of the design, and much superior Hardware(s) atleast 30% better than it's competition. Then they might have a really good chance of winning the game. My hope is Nokia will risk a ittle and bringing out an:

Optical Zoom phone, Xeon flash + Dual LED + dual core cpu + atleast 600MB RAM + 3D graphic + Keyboard + resistive multi-touch + THIN

This will instantly won me over every device out there (i'm dreaming)

For example: The new MeeGO device will have to be future proof hardware. Lowering down the production version and everytime the new version coming out, there will be hardware upgraded onto it as well.

OS + Hardware + design = SELLING POINT!

This is what Apple do best by the way. Their device is slick and very easy to manage. But lack of multi-taskings (older version) and lack of open-ness. Otherwise I agreed that iphone 4 is very slick indeed.
