By now, I don't think anybody knows what you're saying. So sum it up in a very concise manner. Allow me to do my part in that by summing up what I'm saying... Nokia has wasted a lot of time, lost a lot of traction to come out with an incomplete product that feels more like tinker toy with pieces here and there not yet in place - Qt 4.6 not integrated yet, no concrete statement about Maemo 6 on the current device, no comments to steer fear away from the fact that three devices are never going to get any support outside of the community derived support which is stalled at this very moment with no announcements from community SSU nor Mer at this very moment or in months.

And no content partnerships, no announcements from partners that have content that other people have requested. Maemo 5 is living in a vacuum where only Nokia and this community is touching it. Argue all you want, there is no evidence that states otherwise at this very moment.

If you really have done your share of waiting, then just bail out. That shouldn't be so hard, all that is required is not to buy any Maemo devices anymore.
Already done. Nokia is offering me, and sadly enough a ton of other folks absolutely nothing. And silly remarks from community members like this all over this site make the average user seem unwelcome. How many times a day do you read "Go buy an <insert competitors product here>" per day because somebody is requesting something that would actually improve the Maemo platform? It's getting out of hand. It's the geek version of "well... well... if you don't like it, then go home!" - you people do not make the entirety of the community nor ownership of Nokia's products.

And if you did, the platform is dead.

Of course this is unfortunate but one (big corporation) can't please everyone. Nokia has its own plans and if you don't like what they're doing you have 2 choices: spent your money anyway and be miserable or don't spend money and be happier.
Sadly, Nokia is only pleasing a select few in a rather myopic market. Time for the pieces to come together. And yeah, next person to say "well bail" - you're saying that to just more than one person when that flies out of your mouth in such a visible community.
