Well, few more facts. 1999. We have NCDS instead of PC Suite. FBUS cables for phones are sold with software (yes, it wasn't available for free !). There is group of people, who started to provide alternative software for the Linux. Software was forked few times. Starting from some moment it can't provide some parts of support, because Nokia doesn't want to help. People worked for free and there wasn't nothing wrong in it. Really ! It was so big fun. A lot of community and so on.

2008 (or 2009). Really free phones (OpenMoko) are dying.

2009. We have a lot of noise about N900. There are some devices given for free people. There are some discounts proposed after controversial karma selection (yes, who is better - people with some experiences or people, who made buzz, correctly linked their profiles are received enough karma ?) - some of these people were thinking loud thinking on this forum, if they will use their coupon or not... Nokia has got a lot of money, but they can't prepare real SDK (with BT for example), they can't make MMS functionality, etc. etc. Main maemo.org is still not 100% logical (many people are lost) and secure (why do you write password in http ?). Nokia is more "open source friendly" and is giving some job places according to some people.

Excuse me, but I don't buy it. In my opinion nothing has changed. There is no real community (community, like we had in our projects) - after my post I received opinions in style "go out". Some people want good, but the truth is, that Nokia is playing with us...again. There are new job places, but only in Finland. How can these Finnish people understand, what think people in other countries and prepare revolution project ? No support for some thing (once again: MMS ?). Nokia lost engineers ?

No, they have seen, that other companies are making money on "open source friendly" image. They want to do the same with small cost - it's probably cheaper to make few events, give some devices and take results of work from some good people (than give jobs for many talented developers in various countries). Device will be as closed as possible. N900 won't have few key things too and that's why Nokia will force some of us to buy N1000....

Sorry, but I don't see real SMS/MMS interfaces and many things, which could allow me to say - Nokia is really "open source friendly" company.

Some of you pointed, that I haven't prepared software. Yes. I'm not maybe very, very talented man. But I wanted to make some import software and similar stuff (yes, I haven't seen anything like this and I'm not sure, if Nokia will give us similar stuff). But SDK doesn't allow me for simulate BT connection. And I don't want to make unnecessary buzz on forums too.

One more note - I could work 8h hours per day for Maemo, but I need to eat, pay for bills, etc. too. Currently it's not possible with Nokia behaviour.
