It is my experience that usually a good reason that can convince people weighs higher than a poll. We have long turnaround times even for simple stuff in MeeGo.

I also think by looking around if anything the N900 will actually gain popularity and will definitly become a collectors treasure simply because i cannot see anyone making such a device anything close the this one so even with dated hardware it will still increase in value in my opinion.

I agree with the your freemantle points but as this is Maemo.org and as long as people actually see some progress happening i very much doubt development will cease for a long long time yet.

This is also what we thought about the N8x0's, so pardon if I doubt it

There is of course always the danger of a "N950" having same effect as N900 had to N8x0.

I think it will boil down to open source replacement design specific to this device from the Communities own dev's so you will see a Maemo version adaptation based on those factors in the future.

Could you elaborate a bit on this one, I had trouble parsing it.
