huh, apple?
different market.
I haven't taken the time to install the latest maemo5 SDK yet, but I think it is fair to say that at this point Android is more mature, more stable and obviously has a lot more users and apps. If Nokia prices this at $400+ like they did with all the previous ones then it would be a very easy choice to get an Android or WebOS phone instead.

I really hope they sell that for 199$ with contract. That would be a very sweeeeeeeeeeeeet deal...
I doubt it will debut for that price. And I fear that Maemo might be a hard sell for even AT&T, and I doubt that Nokia will take the time to brand it for Verizon or Sprint.

Probably, but it is just a rumor at this point. It will be either TMO or ATT though.

I don't think you can say Android is more stable, because you can argue maemo is more of a standard distribution than Android. Maemo benefits a lot from upstream commits.

If subsidized, then maybe. I would bet on twice that amount, easily.
