Indeed.

Yes, exactly (and within a reasonable time frame).

We have been told repeatedly that Nokia has learned from the 770 fiasco and such mistakes won't be repeated. We were also told that the N8*0 devices will be supported by at least Diablo and Elephanta. Some of us went out and bought N810s based (at least in part) on the above.

We're now in a situation where:

• All purchased N810s (not to mention N810WEs!) are less than a year old right now.
• Elephanta has been dropped.
• We don't know whether Fremantle will be supported on N8*0.
• Even if it is, it's at least 6 months away.
• Existing Chinook/Diablo bugs get closed WONTFIX because Nokia doesn't have the resources to deal with them.

This is unfortunate and has considerable dampening effects:

• effectively killing any motivation to continue reporting/testing Diablo bugs and
• creating reasonable cause for concern that the next generation device could also end up being unsupported after a few months.

I hope this is just a communication problem but until/unless Nokia announces definitively that Fremantle will work on current hardware people will continue feeling frustrated and demotivated.
