Going back to Nokia’s Apple iPhone 3Gs challenger, Fierce Wireless reports that Nokia will continue to expand its range of Maemo featured handsets but this is likely to be at the expense the Symbian platform which Nokia fans have loved for so long.
As reported by 3G.co.uk this week, the Nokia 900 was delayed ( link above for full details ) because Nokia wanted to get further feedback from Maemo open source developers in before the N900 officially goes on sale.
