Any previous iPhone owners who jump on this bandwagon and never look back? Not to say myself as a fanboy but I'm so used to iPhone OS. Thinking to use Maemo 5. Android seems overrated by the way, no offense.
Android is not overrated if compared with iPhone OS. If you're talking about technicals and hardcore/intermediate-advance users, iPhone OS just doesn't fit, it's too strict, basic and simplified, there's no advance options, everything is controlled, it's far worst than my the first generation Nokia Symbian phones or the first Pocket PC OS (now Windows Mobile).
No offence, but true smartphones users are ALWAYS looking for a device that is as close to a computer as possible, thus a mobile computer. Even the first generation Nokia Symbian have better flexibility and works more like a computer.
iPhone OS excels in it's graphics, smoothness, animations; There's no doubt about that and I have to give it to Apple, they have the best graphics and/or animation so far, nobody even able to come close. Even Windows after so many generation, can't really come close to Apple OS.

all this concludes that meego will be getting full support from the first party meanwhile maemo after 1.2, will be community driven. die or live in the developers hands. nokia has abandoned the ship.
also, just how great is froyo is? apart the flash 10.1 beta?
The changelog for froyo sounds promising (especially performance improvements, even 2.0 to 2.1, there's improvements in terms of performance), but the change log for PR1.2 isn't; they still didn't add those basic features that a phone should have, Nokia has so many experiencein Symbian and they should know what's important and good, they should at least provide those. There's a recent interview with one of the MD, seems they didn't plan for many of the features to be included as of the interview. That's really disappointing man...
I've been using the leaked PR1.2, it's more stable than PR1.1.1, but the changes is really really *not much*
Don't get me wrong, I like this phone, it's great, but doesn't mean we don't need a better software, improvements, etc.

If MeeGo is comes out really good it's not a bad thing isn't it?
If you guys were given choice between MeeGo 1.0 & PR 1.2 which 1 do you want to try 1st?
Maemo and MeeGo looks quite different from the UI. From the screenshots of MeeGo, it feels like Android style to me. I like Maemo, it's totally different and unique from others. I hope MeeGo will follow suit.
Anyway, MeeGo is Meego, we should still have updates for PR1.2. It's not about bad thing or good thing, we're using the N900, but lack of support and attention, they're focusing on something that's not yet available and nobody is using. When MeeGo 1.0 is launch, it might still not be stable yet, they still need to go trough proper testing and so on. N900, if able to install MeeGo 1.0, is probably a white mouse to test this OS before they launch the actual MeeGo device. Honestly speaking.
I own a French car, also this is a French phone, sorry to say, both have similar problems. And from the french car company, I get to know a little on how the French works.
They have great products, but they lack of providing good support and attention to the owners.
