No, unfortunately it's not going to happen. A few days ago Reuters reported that Nokia slashed the first MeeGo device before it even hit production.

My guess is that dropping the project comes as a result of signing this deal with Microsoft. Nokia seems to have opted for Windows Phone instead of MeeGo.

Yeah, I saw this the other day too, but I was hoping it wasn't all true: http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/mobile-it/2011/02/10/nokia-halts...

I was kind of holding out for that to replace my 3GS I guess. I don't really like Symbian, and I was hoping for a solid, well engineered phone with a real keyboard for a change.

Actually I was wrong. 2 minutes ago Engadget reported that Nokia has not scrapped MeeGo.
