Sigh. I do understand you pain... I'm still going to get one.
As I'm sure it's still going to be a very compelling device overall.
Despite all the efforts to ensure it's not....
I don't like what Nokia's been doing though, totally uncool.

the standard replacement for a broken N900 is the N8 currently, and it's perfectly legal. sadly.
Really? This an EU-wide thing?
You know where to put your hand on the legislation?

Pretty sure this is not the case for Australia.
Within reason of course...
i.e. They no longer make the model at all.

You don't like VKB because you think it's crap compared to others?
Or simply because you generally don't like VKB's?

They also made the retail date range known, but the range is so large that it is pretty meaningless (a usual cover your *** release date) but the earliest it will come out is 16.9
Why on earth does Nokia need to do reseller training?
The few countries it's headed to, are mostly getting it via retail distribution, not by carriers.
Are are you merely referring to the handful of carriers, in a handful of countries, that are getting it?

they are also internally working on atleast one additional meego device (a tablet perhaps, or a qwerty phone?), but i donīt think even they know if that device will ever see the daylight.
and no, i cannot name my sources
Yeah sure, and I'm a pink alien!
