I think emotions are running a little high in this thread!

Considering that they are developing a fresh platform, things could be worse. We're getting a reasonable amount of feedback, new features, and sexy hardware.

Assuming we get support and refinements to opera, rss, skype and e-mail for another year or two I will be comfortable with my purchase. At that time we'll either have a product we love, and purchase the new fangled n900 on the 'amazing' maemo platform... or we'll dump it for the new intel MID's.
