I just want a MeeGo device from Nokia that is _properly_ supported with great apps and games! Is that SO D*MN HARD TO ASK FROM A HUGE CORP like Nokia???

The last 3 items are not mandatory all else is.
If Nokia's N950 matches this then it can have my money, If not then some other company will eventually match this and they can have my money.
I'm just curious. What applications will you be running that require that kind of power? Again, just curious.

The next device I saw inside nokia was code named bridge, although now with that nutbag elop killing everything god knows what os its going to run. The QML guys were experimenting on it with a linux kernel which I suppose points to meego.
Hardware ? Based around STE U8500 apps processor (so dual core A9 ARMs clocked around 700Mhz).
The last email I saw of interest from Nokia was a high prio email asking for immediate cease of communication with TI employees. - So no TI omaps in Nokias in the near future ?

The sudden change of strategy from Nokia has made me distrust Nokia, and the MeeGo ecosystem, who knows, it appears that any follow-up device to the N900 will be a one-off, it may even be an internet tablet (more of an iPad form perhaps).
However, after a year of waiting, I have now just bought an N900 and I am excited to see the Maemo community continue on, that is what I trust in.
Depending on what is released by Nokia, and what it turns out like, I will see.

Reason 2. If I am going to get a smart phone I have to pay a premium for a data plan as such I expect more from the device then playing games or watching videos, I am looking for it to be a robust miniature computer with phone capabilities as I am an applications developer \ database programmer \ systems\network Admin by trade and my job requires me to be on call 24/7/300 and when on call I need to be able to access systems remotely within 1 hour and be on sight within 2, I will find myself tied into lots of systems doing a number of high intensive processes simultaneously.
There are more reasons but those are the top 2.

frys carried the n900 in-store.

I'll buy that N9-00 or whatever slider with MeeGo and would prefer it be called the N950 but won't buy a touch only skab from Nokia

I'm still uneasy about the wording of a MeeGo device. However, the N950 name, which he didn't really confirm, but suggested tends towards it being in a similar vein as the N900 -- I just hope that doesn't mean a device abandoned after a year.
