It wouldn't be an issue, I'm happy with Maemo 5, but the problem is that there are many bugs that won't be fixed in the existing OS. Those, famous, marked as "Fixed in Harmattan".

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.

The question I have in mind is that I know that Nokia and Moblin are working on a combined OS for their devices, but is the approach more like windows mobile 7, that companies can't customized the UI the Os is only one and runs the same on all hand held devices. Because LG is bringing MeeGo smartphone as well, so do Nokia & LG and in future others have the same UI(OS) but only the hardware differentiates, Is that rue or all Nokia and Moblin hard work will be shared by others..???

You should be banned for calling people fools and being so rude

ignore him, there are rabid fanboys on both sides of the fence

the ironic thing is that one of the selling points of the phone is its opennesss and community, both of which ONLY provide benefits IN THE FUTURE, and it is the community which current disatisfied n900 users fear will move on mostly to meego. that and the "fixed in hartleman" stuff of course. fact of the matter is, many of us dont know what meego will be (read ari's blog, he doesnt know 100% either) but what we DO care is that we are left with a dead end phone cause everyone has rushed off to this new thing

but fanboys will be fanboys

at the end of the day, nokia only listens to $$$, sell/return your n900 and buy another phone and tell your friends the same

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.

I am sure most of the crucial bugs will be taken care off by nokia in the next firmware updates. Another thing to remember is that harmattan/maemo 6 are going to be based on omap3 which is the same hardware as n900 so i assume 95% of the changes to harmattan will be somehow applied to n900. Ofcourse the crucial thing is that the n900 does not support capacitative multitiouch so that may be the biggest obstacle to harmattan on n900.

Most of maemo 5 is already very nice. Some of the features missing are in regular phone department which nokia is king anyway. It just takes some time to get them all into this new platform.

Just enjoy your n900.... because no matter how much you guys complain we know that there is nothing near to n900 when it comes to a portable mobile computer.

I just wish the next device comes with a bigger screen. .... somewhere around 5 inches would be perfect.

I'm a betting man. I doubt they will fix any crucial bugs. My faith has to be earned, Nokia's done pretty much everything to lose my faith.

You can assume all day. But until they announce it, it's just that... assumptions. I'm not arguing what you're saying, I actually agree... I just don't share the same amount of faith they will back port. Nor do I think that people will be as receptive because it might mean that "Maemo 6 is a fork" of MeeGo only (paraphrase).

Indeed. It is quite nice. But it's not yet complete - some features in this level are missing, some things still not fixed.

But do they have a reason to do it now? I see none.

Here we agree 100%.

Add longer support, and we agree 100% here too.

Has anyone noticed the the N900 is on the home page of
Meego.com??

http://www.meego.com

I know it is just marketing, but it is interesting that they would use the N900 if Meego isnt going to be available for it??

Well because N900 can Run QT4.6 base software, that make N900 in the same pack as MeeGo in software compatible.

This is like Ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux and Red Hat Linux. All are linux and all are using the same core kernal and libraries but different compilation of software.

FACT!

NOKIA N900 WILL NEVER GET MEEGO NOR MAEMO6.

FACT!

NOKIA N900 WILL NEVER GET VIDEO CALLING, PORTRAIT MODE ETC..

FACTS... so MANY facts...

Nokia isn't stupid. They're not going to put an iPhone or a Nexus one. The N900 was their only choice. There is no hidden meaning or coded message.
