That's exactly my point.. sad but true; especially now with Intel on board, and they also have history of 'cost effective' solutions. Killing anything that was there, and I wouldnt be surprised that marmo6 device will be marketed as the FIRST MULTI TASKING one. ;-)

Re: Letter to Nokia.
 

Please can you add to the letter that I'm very unhappy that Symbian S60 5th Edition doesn't work on my N95 and could they please promise me that the N97 will be supported by Symbian^3.

Oh and one last thing, I'd also like the moon on a stick if that's possible ;)

So what if the N900 doesn't get Maemo 6/MeeGo? Might be nice but not critical at all. We have been assured the N900/Maemo 5 will support most Maemo 6/MeeGo applications. That's clearly a fact now, not just someone's babbling. That alone assures me that my N900 will have a long and productive life - with or without Maemo 6/MeeGo.

And yes, we've been told that N900 owners will not be forgotten. I'll take him at his blogged-from-his-own-N900 word. I'm not gonna call Jaaski a liar until I see otherwise - are you?

Really, I see something like 90% upside against 10% downside in this whole MeeGo thing. The -10% being mostly the name. I'm still having a hard time with MeeGo...

Re: Letter to Nokia.
 

Really mature. That's totally not the point - the phone costs more than a decent computer AND a netbook, it SHOULD be supported and upgraded as other phones and computers have been and will be. Nokia have a track record of NOT even doing a proper job of one complete and mature iteration of the OS a device is first shipped with... I'd even settle for just that frankly.

To clarify, I love the N900 and just hope Nokia will let it be all that I HAVE PAID FOR AND SHOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTING IT TO BE. The price tag warants years of support and upgrades!

The **** you mean by that?

Re: Letter to Nokia.
 

@Crashdamage we we're assured that Maemo software will run MeeGo software, not the other way around.

And I second stopgag that I love n900, and hope there wont be MeeGo device released in the same stage that n900 was.

Re: Letter to Nokia.
 

Sorry if my sarcasm was too low brow for you. Perhaps I should include a "mature" argument for those who aren't just throwing their toys out of their prams.

I bought my N95 in Summer 2007, in Dec 2008 nokia was still releasing firmware updates. A whole year and a half after the phone was originally released.

The updates didn't include a new version of the OS but included fixes and even new features for the phone.

At no point has Nokia said Maemo 6 would be available for the N900, so why are people suddenly acting like they did? Why are people also acting like this announcement of MeeGo means that Nokia will stop supporting the N900? They were busy working on new versions of Symbian whilst they were still supporting my N95 why can't it work that way with the N900?

Personally I preferred the way I said it first time.

@sirmuttley
1) n95 was an s60, so were all other nokia 'smartphones' ; what would you expect the upgrade to be?
2) Nokia didnt say maemo 6 will be available on n900, but they didnt say they'll release it half a year after maemo5. Give me one and a half year support and upgrades on a well working device (like n95) and then we'll talk.
It stinks like 'some' operating system (for desktops; developed by a huge company, betas we're available, people bought them, waited for updates, then system was cancelled and they made a OS X copy instead) were left half done, and company moved to the next one.

Did some editing to that post to make what I meant perfectly clear...

Re: Letter to Nokia.
 

Indeed, give them that. You've already basically declared that this Will Not Happen.
