I think you should really look at what you want to do with a phone....what you think is really relevant.. i now own a n900 and i still find it awesome...the maemo community (and cssu) made the n900 to what it is today... I can remember people saying maemo is DEAD but to me it,s very much alive (thanks to cssu) so to say meego is dead i am not sure about that...pr 1.2 just came out maybe the nokia n9 will get some support from tizen in the future(who knows) maybe the meego/maemo devs will also whip up something...(you never know) it's all possible why cause it's a open source OS.. i also think that alot of linux heads(aka us geeks) will pick up a n9 over any closed OS we love to play around with it...so my guess/hope is that we get as much love for the n9 as we did for the n900 Ps i'm also getting a nokia n9
