I'm not working on it anymore as I resigned two days before launch release for personal reasons and feeling that my part of the journey is done (I'm an architect, majority of my work is always a bit ahead of any practical program).

It is sad to me to see that consumerism and new devices' obsession only lead to shorter usage cycles and more money being pulled out of our pockets basically for nothing. Two years of support (software updates and hardware fixes) for phones seem to be more or less universal in this industry (hey, corporations too ask their employees to change phones in 2-3 years, not earlier) but it does not mean that you'll get uniformly long support for both software and hardware parts -- that is not that common. At the same time my kids have old Samsung phones which never were updated by that company and still perform their jobs.

Harmattan teams are working and will continue as long as the program continues which is well beyond "the release", there are features planned for multiple milestones, as usual nowadays when updates functionality is implemented and working well.

Once the device comes out to the market, there are also other factors that start playing their roles in how fast a company could cut a support. I guess the fact that N900 is still supported by Nokia Care should tell you something.

Again, this is my personal feeling -- as a consumer. Hopefully, people who can speak on behalf of Nokia (like Peter Schneider or others) could clarify company's standing on it.
