BTW., this has been a problem with Nokia from the beginning. Phones that shipped with S60 v3.0, and couldn't get S60 v3.1. It is not specific to Maemo, but with Maemo 6 and Meego, Nokia should really reconsider this.

Investing resources to keep the value of older devices doesn't cannibalise your new products, it cannibalises your competitors (those who don't support their devices for longer) devices, because it increases your total market share / audience, and drives demand for newer devices (by allowing owners to recoup some value from their old devices).

Nokia should make Harmattan available for N900. Even for a small fee.
