Please be realistic.
Nokia is a business company, not a charity foundation.

Exactly. Just because we paid for this top-of-the-line phone who are we to expect a decent level of support. /s

The MeeGo on future Nokia devices is optimized for capacitive touch. Nokia has promised app compatibility through qt and until they fail to uphold that end of the bargain, bringing out the pitchforks is useless.

There were three firmware updates for N900 already.
It's more than other manufacturers usually deliver.

You can say all you want about the iPhone not having copy / paste and etc but 2+ years after its release they got iPhone 3 OS. Where will we be? 3 patch updates in the last few months is great but will we really see Maemo 5 + 2 revs 2 years from now?

The question isn't how hard engineering has worked the last few months, the question is the intended direction of the platform which is precarious at best.

Yes, businesses always have to aim to improve their bottomline... but there are many ways on how they can do that. Screwing their existing fanbase is quite easily arguably bad for business.

These are the people who have Nokia at the top of their shopping list when it comes time to upgrade their old phones.

These are the people that will speak out positively for you when you can't.

These are the people whom have supported Nokia in the past and they're still here for Nokia through these tough times.

What I'm trying to say is that... you don't have to try to screw everyone else for your own benefit on every opportunity. Aligning their interest with their fanbase can pay huge dividend in the long run.

Could you please take that discussion here so that this one stays on topic?

Well, in this case its behavior that should be emulated.
