And when people ask what "ready" means we can say that the only noticable (graphical) difference is that if you want to install a rpm package you have to use alien.
I still think the "MeeGo Ready" suggestion someone made works best for a Harmattan product. Not perfect, but usable...

The windows version will be called X101H. No word on pricing, but assuming it will cost more since you need to pay for the windows license.

I am definitely expecting to be able to root Harmattan easily. I don't care so much to have to install a package, "take the red pill", etc. But I wouldn't like to lose warranties, that's pretty lame.

Yes I do know OSX is unix based and IMHO a good OS but still not open source
But IOS? Is that really Unix based? didnt know that one :-O
POSIX is a great dealmaker, but of course not being easily rootable is a dealbreaker to me!
How else will I write python scripts in the bus to hack the closed-source music database to include metadata from my unsupported OGG files???

Dsmobile from mobile-review forums
Candy bar "meego" phone is good but it wont be enough to save 2011 for Nokia. It might be too different for current markets and mostly it's just for people who like iOS not really for people who like Android/symbian widget style.

Nokia is really out of control stock down 20% after todays "announcement".
I begining too wonder if our damn device will be released at all
Maybe Elop thinks its not worth it better invests even more emplyers to get the damn wp7 phones faster out at the market.
Reason is simple: releasing a device that isnt even *llowed to be called "Meego compatible" will make it look even more desperate from Nokias side. and the investors and endusers and media will startarguing what crap it is blabla...
And dont say "well they can make it compliant" cause I guess its to late doing that now the facts that it will break compliance if using qtmobility is a bigfail imho (cause its needed on handset). (just one example)
