This isn't just a problem with Nokia and I'm sure people are getting just plain tired of it.

Before I owned the N900 I was nothing short of a mac fanboy. I owned the iphone, upgraded to the 3G and had a macbook pro. In the end, Apple lost me not just because their products were overpriced - but because I could never plan around anything they were to release or update.

Now it sounds like I've fallen for another company that works in the same manner of secrecy where they think surprise announcements will win them credit.

Nokia - if you are lurking around here, realise you have made a device that is open source and have a community that loves to create, test, fix and learn with you. You don't need to be secretive and even if your afraid of not being able to meet a due date - if you tell us what your doing and even how we can help on a daily/weekly/monthly basis you will win soooo much more support and really let Maemo grow.
