My god, it's deja vu all over again!

People said exactly the same about the N900. No proper kickstand? Dealbreaker. No d-pad? Dealbreaker. The N900 is a total step backwards compared with the N810 or N800.

All this Harmattan "us" & "them" misses the point that it's largely the same people, and Harmattan is Maemo. It's far closer to Fremantle than the Bora on the 770.

There was no "they" [the Harmattan community] wanting to go somewhere else. There was never really a home for us (I've got an N810 still, an N900, N9s & an N950) and now there's no home at all, especially since - as Quim says - meego.com has no sponsor now. All I can see from the MeeGo/Maemo teams at Nokia is them trying to make the best of a bad situation.
