Then buy the same car as the neighbour, so what is the problem?
-If the neighbours car does what you want it to do and fits your usage the best, then that car is the best for you.
-However, it may be a bad buy for your neighbour, that has a completely different chair that wont fit...

Again, Dont depend on support that may never come...
The N9 or whatever may still be the best unit for your personal usages, but a bad choice for someone else that use it differently.
Use the best one for you today, and forget about that stupid idea that it should be "better" in the future... when you probably dont even own it anymore.

I did not buy a n900 until it got a good office-package that i liked, before that i stuck to my old N9500 which worked perfectly for what i wanted it to do.
It would just be madness for me to buy it earlier and then have a uselees phone for a long time, and just hope that a officepackage that i liked would come in the future to make the phone useful, that would have been a complete and extremely stupid waste!

...And there were never any talks about support, uppgrades or anything like that on the N9500 forums, noone needed it and noone cared about it. The N9500 was a finished product from the factory, and everyone treated it as a finished product.
