were previous Maemo releases this buggy, and how long did it take to resolve key issues?
 

I wonder if we could learn anything from previous Maemo releases.

Seems there are some legitimate software issues which have been identified now that the device can be found in the wild. I'm fine with dealing with these for some time as long as I know that Nokia will actively work on resolving them. How much effort can we expect from Nokia to ensure these are going to be resolved? I'm concerned they will pull all their development resources into Maemo 6 soon and leave us with a device "which could have been"

There is already a new firmware update though I do not believe its available to flash for the public yet. Cant find the thread where its mentioned think it was -20 rather than -11 which is what is currently in the phone

There are usually 2 gyrations of updates in the past before the platform was left stale...I hope this is not the case with Fremantle.

As a Diablo user, I can't wait for you to have to put up with "Fixed in Harmattan". :D

That said, the Diablo OS does seem to have gotten stable before they abandoned it. It's more the extra capabilities and apps that never seemed to have gotten updated.

As a Diablo user also if Nokia is planning on pulling that stunt again I am going over to Android for my next device after the n900. Already they're starting to resolve some of the issues that I don't like about the Android platform.

I don't think nokia can afford to drop the ball on this one...
Not with the amount of units they will sell and the popularity it is gaining.

If they leave this platform like they did diablo, they will be shooting themselves in the foot.

They will lose their credibility for maemo 6

how so?


They did it for diablo and everyone + more are buying up the n900 like its no ones business

Because this time it's not just the maemo.org community they're going shaft. =P

Re: were previous Maemo releases this buggy, and how long did it take to resolve key issues?
 

Wait - getting the shaft was an option? Why wasn't I told about this?

:p

It was only available if you preordered. :D

Nokia will email you a code for the Shaft app to download from the secret Ovi directory.
