Heh, there's a related article titled "N9 phone not expected to be a hit product" where an analyst says
Translation:
If this N9 phone becomes a success, Nokia should reconsider their ceo and strategy choices, and perhaps make a phonecall to Anssi Vanjoki, if he might come back, says Rantanan [some analyst] jokingly.
- Jos tästä N9-puhelimesta tulisi menestys, Nokian pitäisi harkita uudelleen toimitusjohtaja- ja strategiavalintaansa ja ottaa ehkä puhelu Anssi Vanjoen suuntaan, että tulisiko hän takaisin, naurahtaa Rautanen.

Good thing Nokia isn't the owner of MeeGo then, or I might have to actually worry. Intel will bring us MeeGo phones... if not, we are doomed to use crappy chinese knockoffs. At least those would be cheap.

That does not make sense, if the N9 is a big success it will not be the last one, even if they are already using those expensive robots to make phones for WP7. Don't forget Elop does not own Nokia.
As someone else just said, it does appear that Elop maybe trying to sabotage the Nokia-MeeGo effort and bolster the MS-Nokia alliance. It wouldn't surprise me if he was, as these 'corporate' types can and do play dirty to promote their agendas.
Also, considering the amount of money that's involved in the Nokia-MS deal, and I'm sure that Elop was one of the chief negotiators, he's got to make himself look as if he can deliver. What better way to do that then effectively kill Nokia-MeeGo?

SO why would you buy a dead unsupported phones?? A waste of investment imo.
Keep using it 2 years or longer till it falls apart. It is not a waste of investment.
I need a full browser multitasking , adblock, noscript, and nospy.
Waste of consumer investment and resources is happening due to people buying stuff they don't need then rely on ecoshops full of apps to download enhanced entertainment value for their untill they are relieved out of their boredom with a next quarterly iteration of their "favourite platform" .
Elop seems incompetent to lead Nokia to a well deserved victory. If any , it will be a bought one. I fear it will be rather a bought downfall though.
But let's see. Maybe he is a visionary and testing a new strategy
Soon after N8 release Elop has announced the dead of Symbian and the putting on hold of Meego as primary platform.
Now we have 10 more Symbians coming and support till 2016.
What is next , 5 x Harmattan from here till 2013 with support till 2017?

N9 and MeeGo, could be his bargaining chip against MS. If N9+MeeGo is successful, he will use it to gain more favorable terms in his dealings against MS (Since Nokia is gasping for breath/cash right now); and may use MeeGo on its own when Nokia is able to stand on its own again.
He should do just the opposite, if he wanted to have advantage with Microsoft negotiations. Hint that Meego isn't dead and that Nokia could very well release more models.

That being said - you will need to try it first to check that the are those plugins availab.e

I don't read the paper version. But Eflop tries to destroy Meego and make WP7 success. I hope that he will be fired as soon as possible.
