> That they have abandoned MeeGo was probably a good idea

Nokia didn't abandon MeeGo, they just unified their developer offering because the feedback was that the current 'developer story' was far too complicated. As a Nokia employee, I think it was a step in the right direction but we have not 'won' anything yet.

Hmm sorry yes, phrased it wrong. I would really like Nokia to come out with something good, I have nothing against the company and they build nice hardware. Competition is also never bad and I would like to see a truly open platform. I just think that at this point it's really not a trivial feat to regain market share in this very competitive segment with several strong players with years of a head start and (relatively) mature platforms.

+1 on nice hardware, -1 on durability. My n900 had to have warranty service so I used the free nexus one I got from google at a conference. Using the nexus one, which has no keyboard and an extremely oversensitive touch screen, was extremely painful. I am thankful to have my keyboard and keyboard shortcuts again and I hope nokia fixed the design issues they had with the usb connector.
