True.  I came to the same conclusion a year ago when I was evaluating the
purchase of an Android phone or the Nokia N900 with Maemo OS.  I liked that
the Maemo was more open than Android but in the end I found more value in
the Samsung Android phone because of its lower price.

Perhaps, there is still a force within Nokia hoping that they can spark a
new direction with Meego.  However, this is a long shot given the public
pronouncements of its executives.  The N9 might have better chances if the
executives announced a clear direction for Meego.

I like the N9 because it seems the design team did their best as a last
resort for survival.  I just hope its not too late.
