OLED wallpaper on my ceiling would be the shit. I've always wanted the entire surface of my bedroom ceiling to be comprised of 'pixels' using the sorts of tiny LED's you get in mobile phones. That way you could have some real mood lighting happening with three dimmer switches (and a remote control)

Woah, is this the packaging for ChromeOS?

@Suomaa: as a phone OS?
As far as I can see, the first phone to ship with it is the N900, everything else that's had it is an "Internet Tablet" or somesuch. Also interesting to note is that Maemo5 won't be available for older devices due to "compatibility issues" - sounds like lots of R&D dollar making it all new and exciting to me.

@tikiteko: No, really? You don't say! I never said Linux on phones was a bad thing (although it has some drawbacks - battery usage for starters!), just that there's a lot of Linuxphones out there as it is without Nokia coming along, late to the party, and brandishing a new variant for everybody to get used to.

Android has a massive foothold in the market already (how many phone OSes are used on handsets from so many manufacturers?). I think Nokia should look to that for their future devices rather than spending all their R&D on developing a new OS.

You can actually write apps that run outside of the virtual machine though. Google just don't recommend it for compatibility reasons.

I used to be a Nokia fanboy, up until my N95 packed it in after a failed firmware update. I then got an HTC Magic and saw the light.

Nokia needs to release an Android handset, or port Android to the N97. Or both.
Maemo's probably nice, but it's another Linux-for-phones. There's a half dozen of those already, ffs.

Agreed. That same phone costs $550 unlocked in Australia. That's about $500 for you yanks.

I don't get it. Why do you need to wait for carrier support?
Is this some crazy US thing that will make no sense to people who live elsewhere?

Dear HTC,

Less WinMo and more Android.

Love,
Everybody.

The US is starved?

Here in Australia, land of buying a mobile phone and having it work on any network unless you got it though 3 Hutchinson, it's next to impossible to get an Android handset. Optus sell the Dream/G1 but lock it down tight to their network. Vodafone sell the Magic, but again, locked tight to their network.
The only saving grace is that Virgin are apparently releasing the Samsung Galaxy "this month" and their phones are never locked.

I had to resort to buying a Magic off eBay from a dodgy seller in Hong Kong and hoping it wasn't a dead fish he was sending me. :(
