My guess is that Meltemi will be very similar to Android in how it uses Linux kernel - just as an enablement layer to glue Qt/QML on a hardware. Not a "real" Linux distribution you excite of.

Is it a backup plan which could be pushed to lower range if needed (WP7 succeeds or not)?

I think we'll have to see untill 2Q 2012 if WP7 is a fail or a win. My bet is going day by day towards win. All the major tech blogs gave Mango really good reviews. Mindshare is really soon in the level of good sales push. Christmas sales are going to be crucial for Elop and Ballmer.
I just don't know where Meltemi fits in Nokia's strategy. I think it would be more logical to put in the ultra high-end of phone/something totally new in mobile space. 100-200 € price range just feels somehow so wrong.
It's been months now--and nearly a year. Can we finally just admit it yet?

And btw, MS is still losing marketshare in smartphones month after month.
Edit: I meant that devices have been for sale for a year.
