The N9 is not the successor to the N900. The N950 might possibly have been (if they'd slapped a real Maemo desktop on it), but the N9 is a botched, stymied, neutered little ****** baby who was DOA and has nothing going for it. This is not like with the N900 - you knew before you even bought it that the N9 was a dead end.

Also, where do you get off making demands for anything from a group of unpaid enthusiasts who are free to do (or not do) whatever they want? Your anger should be solely directed at Nokia.

I will stick with my N900's to the end of time - or at the very least I certainly won't look to the N9 as a possible replacement. Nokia is dead to me. Let them go the Windoze route and see if I care.
