I'm fine if Nokia wants to hand over Diablo updates and patches to the community. Since Diablo's life is over, and any further development on the n8xx line is done, they may as well leave updates to the enthusiast community to handle from here on out so the device doesn't die young and leave the community bitter. That's one of the quickest ways to kill the chance of success for future products. Palm's already learning that with their screwup over the Pre. They had success on a silver platter, but when they killed the user community early and brutally, all hope of the Pre going anywhere died with it all thanks to one boneheaded maneuver.

Nokia would be wise to take the lesson of Palm's mistake and actually nurture the community. As has been repeatedly proven, a healthy, loyal community is the most guaranteed way to sell a product in large quantities. Kill that community or make them bitter is a guaranteed recipe for failure. A bitter community spells epic fail.

Trust me, I've been in the tech world long enough to see this cycle repeated over and over and over again. It's almost 100% guaranteed to happen every time with few exceptions.
