Not buying anything Nokia for a while.
 
I've come to a point of frustration, and I've decided to avoid buying any new nokia for a while. I simply hate the way they do business, their mindset of constantly creating new products without properly fixing or developing one consistent product is just ridiculous.

Nokia N900 could've been such a great product, but development is very slow, and before long, they've moved on to Meego. Once they start Meego, who knows what's next. This has been a consistent pattern with Nokia, and its getting right out silly.

Make one product, and make it great, keep it on one platform, and make that platform great. This way developers can create apps for years without having to worry that their app will be useless in a year.

I've always been the one to say that I can do this with Nokia, or do that with Nokia compared to any other phone, but now, with the iPhone and the well rounded development, the OS is very thoughtfully laid out, and everyone can create an app for the iphone without worrying that it will be invalid or the platform will be gone the next year.

Learn Nokia, learn.

i wont be either, mostly because im stuck on a 24month contract with vodafone UK with about 18months left. probably cost me £550 to cancel and pay the remainder.

but as for now i still cant see anything beating the N900, so its a waiting game for me, hopefully will see some super phones released in the near future. but i just couldnt imagine not having my N900 i mean its a beast of a tablet/phone although i would agree Nokia themselves are a huge let down, and dont do anything for N900 users, except ofcourse providing us with the best, im mean WORST app store in the world run by probably 4 people without a clue!

com'on nokia pull your fingers out concentrate on your current customers just as much as new customers of the future!!
