Besides, I've been using WinMO phones for 6 years, and I'm still waiting for Microsoft to finish WinMo in terms of phone features - and that included me buying a new phone every 1.5 years, since there is never more then 1, if even 1, official firmware update for any winmo phone.

So sure, MAEMO will become more and more feature rich over time. Most, many, all? of those changes will be available on the n900 at least until its hardware is too old to support newer features.

Hey, did you know you can't get the latest droid (2.0) for the original G1? What a ripoff! I paid $550 for that phone!
Indeed I remember my N70 never even had all the bugs fixed before it's contract was up!

I indeed read about the G1, not great for early adopters.. besides I don't think I'm ready to sell my soul to Google just yet!

I think my biggest problem with WM was that the manufacturers always skin it up to make it look all nice and apeal to consumers, who were inevitably dissapointed when they realised how much of the user experience was still the same as on a 8 year old pda..

I do have a lot of hope for the N900 and that Nokia will continue to support it with new OS releases, but should probably have more faith that the community will find a way to get them to work anyway!
