The term support is something that comes from the manufacturers. In consumer electronics, it means the following: if there is a issue that can cause group actions or damage reputation we will fix it.

As for support you are referring to, it is called FOSS. It allows end users and developers to modify the running software WITHOUT support from manufacturer. It is a freedom, true freedom.

Unfortunately Nokia has made sure that the only community that can effectively modify the firmware is a Zombie community, controlled by Nokia, which is controlled through:
  • free developer device programs
  • closed source binaries for drivers.

They have recruited some developers to play "support" for the "community". That support will last as long as Nokia likes it. Then, they will pull out the plug, and the zombie will collapse.

BTW: have you noticed that some prominent members have disappeared approx. at the time the N950 developer devices have been sent out.
What support could this community really give when it closed off source.

I used to talk like mike when i was a 12 year old .

I am starting to think he is a kid the way he is talking.
