Today these large screen touchscreen devices and finger touch UIs are the megatrend in smartphones, but in two or five years it can be something totally different.
We should remember just some six years ago almost everybody was mad about clamshell models, and after that many were crazy about getting as thin a phone as possible.
Who figures out the next megatrend and leads that? We don't know yet.
I really dontīt believe that Nokia is changing. They are just trying to clean the public image.
How can they release the flgaship N900 and two months later announce that the OS it's based on is going to be abandoned and they refuse to say what is happening with the device?
They should be honest and if the N900 is not going to receive Meego nor Ovi Maps they should say so and don't play with te words.
I think that the N900 is a fantastic device but now is in a limbo. I had one for a couple of days and liked it. (I did return it because Nokia Spain refused to give me a correct invoice) I planned to buy another one, but now I'm waiting for Nokia to clarify.
