Not pointless, but just something we'd all kind of worked out anyway.

That is what you would like to inform our readers of separately?

The most important advantage of Maemo and MeeGo, in my opinion, and I think you will agree with me, is the openness of the OS. This is a very unusual approach to the telecom industry and is very pleased to see that he is already bearing fruits - the number of applications for Maemo is constantly growing, platform is evolving , and I hope the transition will take place on MeeGo as well and MeeGo-community will be even more active. For this activity and would like to thank your readers.
Positive thinking :)

In the original, the answers are concise and polite. There's no breaking news.

By this, disregarding tone or formality, I can only see that the N900 is dead if not dying.

I'm sad to see this happen, but I knew the day would come. I just hoped it wouldn't have been so soon.

We knew this already, but what bothers me is that these plans and answers seem very rigid and inflexible. It's like someone decided that the N900 must be differentiated somehow, so it's not allowed to have certain features.

Otherwise I don't see why they couldn't simply backport the new Qt applications for very little cost in Q4. The logic behind this policy makes me a bit wary about the future - are the accusations about infighting and bureaucracy too true?

If I was running the show, I'd launch Harmattan on a non-keyboard device and revitalize the N900's software to immediately have an almost equivalent OS on two devices instead of only having one horse in the race until the product line expands. It's powerful enough, and could be produced much more cheaply while keeping the price fairly high. Only the non-multitouch screen would warrant a small discount.

It's a desktop grade browser, so no... It doesn't even show any mobile versions by default.

To clarify, I generally don't mind using the device in landscape. I even managed to get used to switching songs with one hand, when standing in a crowded bus :) . But this really bothers me for some reason, that resources went into portrait browser instead of portrait messaging. In particular, note the response he gives in the interview:

"At the same time knowing that adding "phone" component, require the portrait orientation in some cases, we have added it to the main applications, where it is used. For example, Contacts, Phonebook and the browser."

Browser, to me, clearly doesn't fit in that answer.

Mobile websites load faster. Some people like using mobile websites in some situation. It is a desktop grade browser but the phone doesn't have a desktop grade screen

I completely translated Q&A

In fact, I prefer to use the browser in landscape so I don't have to zoom quite that often. Conversations and a portrait soft keyboard would be a more important place for portrait. Also, the music player, for fast switching of songs on the go. But the browser?
a lot of sites i visit regularly (especially blogs) use a layout that works well in portrait mode... and for those sites, it's a pleasure to browse in portrait. less scrolling, holding the device in one hand more naturally...

Im getting sick and tired of these not planned aswers. we have to do every freaking thing ourselves. think of how it would be if we didnt had this open platform. this device would really be a disaster. 10000s of people are asking for some things and only thing nokia is saying is, sorry not planned.

its pissing me off.

and in the mean while they keep us quiet with a stupid half working ovi suite. forgodsake! this should have been there working 100% from day 1 the n900 was released.

im losing my patience.
