Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

Depends on a few factors

The hardware and form factor of the N920 (or whatever Meego device). And how DRM locked Meego is (considering some of their plans for Maemo 6..)

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

Until yesterday I knew nothing about MeeGo so I am in the I don't really care whether or not it gets it. It bought a Maemo handset not a "Maemo handset but it will be a MeeGo handset in six months or so.. Maybe..." I would be surprised if we get it actually, it would be a bonus and not a requirement on Nokia's behalf as far as I am concerned.

If you want MeeGo get the phone that comes out with it, something better than MeeGo is probably in the works so then people will be *****ing when that comes out. Same b/s every time when something new pops up..

sounds like u need to smoke more cons mr very child out. u have no idea bout the issue's do ya. prawns on the barbbyy mate

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

I didnt expect my n900 to be the last phone/mobile device i would ever buy. But I also didnt expect Nokia to make an announcement 2 months after i bought it saying that they're moving to a new OS. And yes i knew about maemo6 before I bought the n900 and yes i know all about how we will be able to run QT apps on the n900. It still doesnt make me feel any better know that the company i supported with $500 will probably stop sending firmware updates to my device by the end of this year.

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

Hmm.. Smoke more cones when I'm already chilled out?? :confused: Makes sense.

Perhaps I don't see all the angles regarding MeeGo.. Again... Like I said... until yesterday I didn't know anything about MeeGo so I don't care about it.. Explain to me how much my life will suck if the N900 doesn't get it? Would it be something I could survive?? Or should I just go an OD on prawns now?

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

I knew nokia were working on maemo 6 and i knew from the start the n900 might not be getting the maemo 6 but i only started to get upset with nokia when i found out that the n900 is going to be the ONLY maemo 5 device, Nokia and Intel merge Maemo and Moblin to create MeeGo. I feel as if the N900 was really just a waste of time. even if we can share the same apps we are always going to be on the sidelines of the big game watching.

what Nokia doesnt understand was that for Most of us Maemo 5 was our MeeGO our saviour not second best again. understand??

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

I came from a microsoft phone so I am quite used to Shelling out $500 and not getting any more updates!

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

I guess it all boils down to whether you feel you have value for your money. Nokia seems to think that the cost of their devices should include only a few bug-fixes and minor feature updates to their phones. Usually the firmware updates fix the phone to a state it should have been in the first place, had they developed it properly rather than releasing buggy unstable devices.

I on the other hand think that the cost of Nokia's phones should include a lot more, including OS upgrades where practicably possible (and of all designs where that could be the case, the N900 is certainly it). It has already been shown to capably run entirely different phone's OSes such as Android...

This costs under £300, has great portability and can run a well supported OS such as Win XP or linux and aside from the lack of phone facilities onboard, it's not that different a beast in terms of specs and size than the N900.

When I compare this to the N900 though it feels like just another case of Nokia heralding this fantastic new product and hyping it up to the hilt only to months later drop it in favour of the latest flavour. Sure it hasn't happened yet but it sure has happened before... I owned an N93 which was supposedly THE photo phone to have and touted as such. The camera was poor quality, noisy and even mechanically noisy - they updated the firmware once, leaving the phone in a still very buggy and largely unstable state and then gave up because it was simply easier to launch the N93i.

I'm sick of Nokia releasing these so-called ground breaking devices, heralding the arrival of a new era of blah blah blah, only to go and replace the thing with a newer better model mere months later. I waited 14 months after contract expiration to get an N900 and would happily have waited longer for the next one... had Nokia been open about the fact it was coming and kept customers informed.

Re: N900 - MeeGo
 

Haha and no didn't see his thread. What insightful stuff it must have been.

I will have read into MeeGo some more. Do agree with you on the pointlessness of the N900 right now with the new OS so quickly around the corner. Perhaps the merger wouldn't have happened at all had the N900 proved unpopular. I still think the N900 was more of a test device for the market and what a success it has seemed to be.
