2. Your first and last paragraphs seem at odds with each other. You appreciate what the community can do, but don't want solutions from it?

We don't know for certain, but this whole thread is about a quote from Nokia stating that meego (most likely, depends how you read into it) will not be officially packaged for the N900, and that the first Meego device (implying that the N900 will not officially run it) will be available in the second half of 2010 (implying that yes, they have moved on)

Yes I do want solutions from it, but I expected Nokia to provide the solutions themselves (bug fixes mainly)

:D My wife is already happy that I'm going to buy next Maemo/MeeGo device soon. She will be able to play FloboPuyo anytime she wants. :cool:

The quote does not say that.

Nokia has been fixing bugs. So has the community. Why should it matter where the fix originates?

You're right, not in so many words. It says that Maemo itself is not upgradeable to Meego, but if Meego is going to be provided as an erase and start over install, surely the N900 would be the first device?

I don't care about Meego specifically, I care that, if this is the case and the N900 will not get Meego, then Maemo and the N900 are already losing support and development (makes sense, why else has PR1.2 taken so long to finish)

EDIT: Missed the second part. It matters because I paid to have official support and bugfixes. I didn't buy any old computer, I bought a mobile computer packaged with an OS provided by the same company, expecting that company to support it.

That would make sense, and has not been ruled out. Consider that there will be a developer build of MeeGo for the N900. What does that suggest to you?

That there will be a developer build in order for developers to test the new OS and get their software ready for the next device that officially supports it.

Yaaaay. An Evolution. that is awesome. If things don't work out as planned then so what? I don't care if meego is or isn't officially supported on the n900 because most things that make my life easier with maemo5 now, were NEVER OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED (supported meaning didn't do out of the box and/or didn't have an app for it in the ovi store). I could be wrong, but i don't think petrovich, fmms, transmission, tune wiki, joiku, various emulators and games, fapn, fm boost and others that i use often were officially supported. Even though some of this stuff was advertised and said to be on the device NOKIA did not deliver.

I feel like Nokia turned their back on me (in many ways, despite the support contributions/FW updates they do still make and have made since i purchased) so i have turned my back on them. i will never again call customer service (horrible) or expect anything other than a random forum chat on their website. If i can't find it here @ maemo.org then screw it. this place carried the phone for me since i got it. Not nokia. If nokia doesn't lift another finger i am still grateful because they already gave it the best upgrade in my opinion. making it open source and accessible to the the folks here, who are doing the heavy lifting anyway it would seem. Besides... things seem to happen faster here than via "Official Nokia Support"

That's one possible (cynical) interpretation. But you blew past what I was getting at: if a developer build can run on N900, what technically stops a commercial build?

Nothing, but what stops a commercial build from a business point of view?

If the N900 can't support it, most people (except the ones that are turning their back on Nokia, we are a minority) will go out and buy the latest ("First") device that does.
