There are still lots of people on here including my self who use the N8*0 very regularly and software is always been updated. Maybe you could try just reading threads from OS2008 and disregard the main page if thats how you feel. I know that once all the hype about the N900 dies down things will progress with the rest. Not everyone will get a N900(Cost,bugs ect.. and most are still happy with what they have got.
