Nokia N9 successor on roadmap?

Very quickly again (I’m simultaneously getting dressed to leave as well as blogging).

There’s rumours of a Nokia N9 successor? A couple of days ago, jipee tipped us that a Finnish blogger mentions something about a N9 successor on the roadmaps. So N9 is really not the last? What with all N9 reviewers praising the N9 and mourning it’s apparent lack of future, hopefully there’s a happy ending for it with the possibility of a continuation at Nokia?

In the Finnish IT magazine Tietokone (Computer) blogger Tero Lehto (Apple fan) reviews the N9 and hints that there could be a N9 successor:

“Toisaalta olen yllättäen kuullut jo kahdenkin läheltä Nokiaa seuraavan operaattori- ja tukkuri-ihmisen väitteen, että Nokia N9:n seuraaja eli uusikin MeeGo-laite voisi olla vielä Nokian roadmapissa. En tiedä, mistä käsitys on syntynyt, joten suhtaudun siihen varauksella.”

“On the other hand I have to my suprise heard claims by two sources closely working with Nokia at an operator and a wholesaler, that there is a N9 successor in the Nokia roadmap. I dont know, what is the source of this perception, therefore I am sceptical about it”

Nokia’s communication manager confirms that there has been problems related to the exchange sync and Nokia is bringing an update to fix it.

Another source comments of Tero Lehto (cheers StefanP). They note whilst MeeGo might be dead (or folded into Tizen) Maemo is not (oh heck what was the point of it all, huh? They should have just stuck with Maemo all along, darn seductive Intel partnership.
