Of course more updates are always nice but the lack of proper hardware is definitely a hinderance to further updates. Now a days 2 years is a lot in device's life cycle. I dont see many users who would use thier n900's for more than that.

So you still think there will be many incremental updates? I guess only time will tell.

I think there will be. But time will tell. Since maemo 5 is totally new and there will be bugs in the start and nokia believes in releasing early and often.

Anyway lets see.

I've owned many high end Nokia devices, and updates are plenty and often.

I am somewhat disappointed that when the latest iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or Palm device comes out, they have someone showing it off on Oprah, the View, Ellen, Good Morning America, Daily Buzz, G4TV, etc, but I haven't heard one single word about the N900 on traditional media outlets in the US yet. The Palm Pixie and Moto Cliq are the hot devices of the moment here in the US, and people are looking for the TP2 and Sholes to come out, but no buzz for the N900 here. Hope it increases (buzz in the US on TV) once the Maemo Summit comes down.

Sometimes I think if Nokia trying SO hard to get a dent in the North American market, in detriment to other markets, its really worth...

Maybe instead of trying to market it in Oprah or Ellen Degeneres(?!)... Going "Hollywood" would be better. Nothing creates more hype than Rambo remotely exploding a truck via SSH or John McClane using Maemo mapper to find the next russian/german/south american/arab/japanese terrorist...

Heck, just remember that "Matrix phone".. I really really wanted one :P

I really liked the "cameo" of the Nokia 770 in the "Fantastic Four: Silver Surfer" :)

Many of us in the community figure that most of the power-wielders in Nokia don't even realize what they've got on their hands here, or maybe they're wilfully ignoring it because it isn't what they're used to... Nobody's really sure what's going on in the Finnish Juggernaut.

So anyway, a few community members have suggested starting a Community Marketing Campaign. Tim Samoff has even started a YouTube channel.

That's how marketing works in this century anyways. Forget the splashy ads; go for viral videos.
