Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

The question is: will they come? Or will developers soon move on after the N900 has been dropped by Nokia? Seriously, ask yourself that question. Will you - as a small professional developer (by that I mean someone who makes a living selling his software) still develop software for a platform which is - in the current form - dead? I am awaiting a final FW by Nokia, and after that that'll be it.

I sincerely hope this will not be the case, but as of yet I haven't seen much which has encouraged me to think otherwise. Ovi Store is still empty (and always has been - despite a few tiny useful apps), the next FW is possibly miles away, and we don't even know anything precise whether the N900 will support the new OS or not:

I do no care about MeeGo too much tbh, all I want is a fully functioning phone. Whether that's going to be Maemo or MeeGo, to me it's all the same.

I would be able to answer you if they would have mentioned a source more precise than "from Nokia".

More real information by the end of this month.

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

It will work, but who knows how - maybe there will be stops, rebooting, etc.

Anyway, thanks for clarification.
I am very angry at this moment, so will not write more messages for some time.

Sure will use my N900 - I payed 600 Euros for it! I will use as much as I can my N900 in case to not buy new Nokia in 3-4 years! Just to be sure that Nokia will not getting a penny/cent more from me in this time.

I don`t know about Nokia`s future .... It`s a shame, big shame.

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

I'm reading this thread all the time head-shacking...

Let's analize a little bit. What do we have?
A official statement from Nokia, on the official Nokia site, that they will drop every software support for the N900? (they can't drop hardware support for at least two years at least in germany).
No!

On the one hand we have a statement from "Nokia" (Who at Nokia? My grandma? The clueless callcenter, acquired by Nokia?) that maemo on the N900 is not upgradeable (whatever that means) posted by a website not giving any details about their source.
How reliable is that?
On the other hand we have the assurance from the meego team, that meego will run on the N900 (in one way or the other).
We know that official Qt 4.6 support is coming to the N900 sooner as some may think (more infos by the end of the month).
So we know that programs made for any platform using Qt will run on the N900.
The N900 is not less usable if there won't come a official meego build.
And the only thing we don't know yet (more infos by the end of the month) is if Nokia will provide their own version of meego for the N900.
Remember: meego is hosted by the Linux foundation. Not Nokia nor Intel.

BTW.: posted from my beloved N900

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

That clarified a few things for me - thanks for pointing them out! Let's hope for the Best :)

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

It better has to be good news. And if not, the news can't come fast enough anyway.

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

Get over it guys. my N810 is not upgradable to maemo 5. Big whoop, its still an awesome device. And my 770 still has awesome community support. The world moves on.

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
 

The question is, what's the platform? QT seems to be the platform, and it is one that is going to be common between Maemo 5 and Meego. So, in that respect, the platform will be supported.
