All this talk about N900's Ending? Pr 1.3 The Last?
 

So i've been reading around, is it true that the N900 is done? I've loved this phone so much, I've tried to never drop it, and only dropped in 3 times this year.

That was irrelevant , but i love this phone that much. Anyways, how promising is MeeGo vs Maemo5?

Re: All this talk about N900's Ending? Pr 1.3 The Last?
 

I wouldn't say it's done, it still has a community like no other, it'll live for half a year (possibly more) with Maemo 5.

MeeGo is progressing nicely tbh, was a bit biased about it before ;)

It's still the best mobile device on the market, despite Nokia's failings. The appearance of Meego on the horizon only really affects commercial development, which was almost non-existent anyway, due to the small user base.

Let's just enjoy what we have and stop worrying about what is round the corner. I'm more than happy with the decision I made, and I enjoy working with Qt, which bodes well for the future. I looked at the Android development tools, and all I can say is 'ugh', and that's coming from someone who likes Java (we are a rare breed ;) ).

There might be PR1.4 to help with Meego compatibility, I hope.

Maemo is not gone .. it could possibly be a parallel linux based mobile OS maintain by this community. and maybe one day a mobile hardware firm might use it on one of their high end phone to bring down cost.. you may never know.. ;-)
As long as you have this great community and Nokia begins to open up their API and code for Maemo.. we have a something to look forward too.

Nope, that was part of what PR1.3 did.

PR1.3 included kernel support for dual booting with Meego (though only intended for developers) and QT4.7 which is what Meego will be using.

What else do you expect them to do?

But as MohammadAG said, the community support will keep Maemo going a while yet. As far as I'm concerned the N900 won't be done until there is something better to replace it with and I haven't seen anything I think is better yet.

i would like to say tha i had nokia 5800 before this one. rumours were that it would not further updates but nokia still updating this old phone.
compare to that N900 is much newer and has great potential to get further updates. cheers for n900 :)

Re: All this talk about N900's Ending? Pr 1.3 The Last?
 

The thing is that your Nokia 5800 is not using maemo, it is using Symbian, and Symbian is updating very more often because Nokia still believe that Symbian is rock solid for bussines phones for now and even for the future. On the other hand, Nokia do NOT think that Maemo is the future, and the present is not very clear.. If Nokia believed that Maemo is the future, then MeeGo have no point.
