But I am thinking what an earth loving act of recycling Nokia would bring to stage with Maemo 5 to be ported to all those lost and discarded precious earth minerals locked into low life cycle toys such as iPhone and Androids

I very much doubt anyone will see Nokia bring out any MeeGo adaption for the N900 and if that single email makes you that sure then i am sorry for you.
The biggest problem with MeeGo to the N900 is a start from scratch situation and i certainly have seen no evidence whatsoever from Nokia that they will release the N900 code to the DE team as yet.

Maemo on the other hand is as people describe it "half baked" but a lot lot further forward than MeeGo currently is.

Nokia have joined forces with Microsoft and have already stated they have dropped MeeGo for WP7 so all we have left is the original os Maemo and as this community is called Maemo.org and initially funded by Nokia then why should it not turn over the source code needed.

I have had many arguments on here with various people and the situation i have always agued about is still current as in we do not have any official support in any way or form from Nokia, too many people live on dreams and wait hopeing something will come right but the truth is in this money orientated world nothing comes for free and if you want or need a situation to happen you got to do something to make it so.

Regardless of any arguments i may have had with any member of this community this is about YOUR device and nothing to do with me personally.

IF the poll is strong enough then i will be asking Reggie for his assistance to get the results of this poll to Nokia direct.

PLEASE DO NOT POST ARGUMENTATIVE COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD DIRECTED AT ME AS THEY WILL BE REPORTED.

This Poll and thread is for every N900 owner or future owner and nothing to do with me at all so please keep me out of this in your comments ok.

I am sure everyone who chooses NO to the poll has a reason to do so and it would be very good to know that reason so if you propose a NO then please post your comments as to why you chose this.
