N900-the only Maemo5 device
 

so, n900 was actually an expirement that costed me and other hundreds of people around 600euros each?
i do hope i ll see n900 running meego(or maemo6), although if this happens, n900 will be the first nokia device OS upgradeable..
i have been a nokia customer since 1997, recently i got an iphone and i thought i should go back to my beloved nokia.now official replacement of OS and device coming after 2months of release of the device....

This thread has nowhere to go but down.

It was known already at the time the N900 was released that Maemo5 would not continue onto any other devices. The Harmattan project was already known and Nokia made no secret of this.

Man, I sound like an appologist :)

This is actually Nokia's 'normal' release cycle isn't it?

The NITs had much longer life cycles compared to their normal mass market phones.... and none of their 'normal' phones have upgradeable OS...

.... so... welcome to Normal.

Hang on to it for 20 or 30 years and you'll get your money back, since it will be a collector's item.

Not even close. The 770 got OS2005, Mistral, Scirocco, Gregale, plus two Hacker Editions. The N800 got Bora, Chinook & Diablo. Not to mention Mer.

It's been around 4 months since the N900 launch, and Harmattan device(s) are many months away.

Anyway, so what? If you buy your electronics expecting that nothing newer is going to appear you must be constantly disappointed.

Re: N900-the only Maemo5 device
 

It's strange, I'm living in the now and I'm having the best time. I never sell or get rid of devices, and I see my n900 as being a work horse for many moons to come. This latest announcement could easily help extend the n900's life. My glass is way more than half full.

@el3ctronick

Why is everyone complaining about not getting an upgrade.

I bought my first computer with Win 3.1 on it and I cost me half a fortune then and let me tell you -- it never got a free upgrade to XP. My car did never get an electronic update - would never expect it.

You bought a peace of equipment based on what it was worth to you then - now be happy about it.

I married my wife 18 years ago and am still happy with her - or better I love her more then when I married her.

So look at your N900 and tell it that you love it for what it is and not what it could be!

If you can't do that, don't blame anyone but your self - because it was you that bought the N900.

Does it matter that it's the only Maemo 5 device... ever?
