And second, it was already known that next version is coming out in first half of 2010, but for resale in later 2010, maybe 2011 Q1.
I wonder why it says N00 as the model number.

Judging from this we might actually get Maemo 6 to N900
Quote:
"Nokia has a policy on the (former) Internet Tablets to offer an upgrade to the following version of the OS, which has been the case on every device since the original 770 was released (back when it was OS 2007, 2008 etc).

We were told at Nokia World (last September) that this would continue on the N900 and its successors. It seems likely that the next two models (one which is going to be a netbook design) will have Maemo 6, upgradeable to 7. At this point, the N900 would be on 6 and theoretically have no further support.

Having said that, Nokia has usually continued support for longer than you'd expect. I suppose with Apple and Google/Android now offering free upgrades on an ongoing basis, Nokia will find it harder to simply say something is end of life as quickly as they have done before.

I hope this helps!

I did know that Maemo 6 and Maemo 5 where in the making parallel and Maemo 6 will be going full Qt like Nokia's whole smartphone portfolio including Symbian^4. Main focus on Maemo 5 will not last even fragtion the time that Qt loving Maemo 6 will that's for sure. So can't say i'm mad to Nokia or anything because i already knew what might happen.
I buy new phone pretty much every 6 months so maybe i shouldn't even be talking here ;)


But hey there's possibility that Maemo 6 really is coming to N900 even if it costs something your device still have more life in it. Looking at the old tablets support with the fraction of the sales that Maemo 5 will probally get i'm sure this community will deliver. So many things yet we don't know so we will see. Plus maemo 5 already got more apps in not long future than the WebOS.

You need to relax and just enjoy your device :D It's a phone for heaven's sake - it's obsolete the day it's announced.

Quite literally yes. They announced it as step 4 of 5.

The relevant part being a bullet point in Devices & Services operational priorities: "Deliver our first Maemo 6-powered mobile computer, with an iconic user experience, in the second half of 2010"

I might add that "second half" in corporate speak usually means "end of the year" and with the massive undertaking of writing the user facing applications from scratch in Qt/WRT along with other changes to the platform I wouldn't be surprised if the schedule slipped a bit.

For those interested, Nokia capital markets day presentations and software strategy:

I was just pointing out how the OP's post isn't narrow minded as they _might_ support specific hardware only. I also said I hope that it doesn't happen!

as long as there is a user base and community around the n900 it will not be history for a couple years.
as for maemo 6 it will have a longer life and will powering many more devices so most probably will get more support and even OS upgrades.
I'll even pay for new OS
