...You mean the 300 dev phones? That's nowhere near enough to betatest a new OS.

We're beta testers, the same way gmail users were beta testers until last year. The same way that Windows ME users were beta testers and never got out of the beta phase :B

No, I know the N900 is sold as a full blooded phone. People should expect to get a fully completed product. I saw an ad for it last night where it was called an "Outstanding Phone". But not even the iWhatever was really done when they released it. Either way... I don't think Nokia will invest as much time in perfecting this phone as they will on the first Maemo 6 phone. I really don't. And frankly there is nothing out there to suggest that Nokia is putting a lot of prestige in making a perfect N900.

The N900 isn't the one they're scared to f*** up. In my opinion.
