N900: Last Of The Breed?

With Nokia now partnered with Microsoft, I wonder if the N900 will be the last of the breed of truly open Linux based phones. This Nokia QT blog post indicates that a MeeGo device will ship this year, and that Nokia will continue to work on the MeeGo open source project, which is certainly encouraging. We can only hope that the deal with Microsoft doesn't preclude future Linux based devices. Time will tell.
