Ah well, but then it's clear that all this thread is based on pure speculation since no hardware announcements or plans have been disclosed around Maemo.
You are inside this market place this, business segment that just as much as me and anybody else in this thread. Your words of buying somewhere else if Nokia doesn't fulfill your interests are a good and very practical example. You said that Nokia had probably no idea about users like you and I'm just trying to say that probably Nokia does know, and a lot.
I'm not trying to convince you, just attempting to explain how these things work. You have very good points but then you kind of loose them making too simplistic or plain wrong statements.
The n810 upsetting some people while satisfying some more is also a fact, by the way. Like there was people saying that the 770 was way better than the N800. You might be among those upset, but you can't deny that there has been progress through the 770, N800 and N810 hardware. I have no reasons to think this progress will be stalled.
