Re: I think you should get a 50% discount on the first meego phone
 

People on this forum do make me laugh. Despite overwhelming evidence, they still think Nokia rock.

Think logically after reading this thread.

Nokia are not backing Meego on the N900. So the N900 is a dead platform for sales in Nokia's eyes, so they won't sell them (or make them). And the precious Maemo community will shrink, it won't grow. There is a finite number of N900's and there won't be more. You can have adaptations all you want to get Meego to work, just like you have to install 14 apps to get the N900 to work, (still no video calling), but you brick your phone and it is good night phone.

Nokia have basically given the finger in that post to the world of the N900. It will be a minority platform for developers, the same bunch of developers and not the new blood that Android and Apple get. Limiting future uptake of the OVI store and uptake of Meego or what comes after that.

Or am I wrong, please tell me this isn't how it is, that Nokia not supporting Meego on the N900 will see sales rise?

Check out this

There will (hopefully) be a Community effort to port Meego (Qt) apps and even a hacked version of Meego itself onto N900.

I think this is more than we could realistically hope for - I had pretty much resigned myself to enjoying N900 as it is, but this could change the game completely.

Whatta hel-l is going on here with all meego stuff. I think that Nokia conversations should have made their statement with n+1 links to different Nokia employees blogs and post here where they state that Meego will not be just upgrade for your maemo and only developer release will be made. Have people some kind of reading disorder or what is happening here. Also we will have 1.3 update and this device is starting ot be what is supposed to be. Only thing that right now saddens me is flash support which is degrading.

so my N900 browser stops working after meego is released? that makes me sad :(

Re: I think you should get a 50% discount on the first meego phone
 

well just flash, eventually.

I can't believe those who are ok with this. this meamo 5 os out for such a short period and end of the line on $500 + phone.

If The Who ever wrote a song about Nokia users they would have to change the line to

we WILL get fooled again.

It's in Nokia's gene to rain the market with gajilliongs of models every year...

Personally, I think it takes away from that 'special feeling' toward the device because no model feels 'new' longer than just a few months before it's superseded by a different model (whether partially or entirely). Not to mention that once the model don't sell well anymore, all support for it (software included) are dropped quicker than a brick in the ocean...

That's pretty funny. Thanks for the laugh.

There won't be a program for active maemo.org users. Perhaps one for meego.com contibutors.

Oh look, it's the same topic with yet another title.

Sheesh.

Can we get back to HELPING EACH OTHER USE THE N900 HERE?

Go pester Nokia with your demands. This isn't the place and we aren't the people you need to talk to.

I'm trying to help you use the n900 to get break on the next linux nokia device...

And you don't see how that's completely irrelevant HERE at talk.maemo.org?
