@alexreed:

I'd have to agree.. I didn't think finding out M6 wasn't coming to the N900 would prevent me from getting it.. but the more I think on it it just might.

I still believe Maemo is by far the best mobile platform available... but I just can't justify giving half a grand to a company that seems to maintain little continuity, or future for any of the devices they bring out. So far, I have not seen a legitimate reason why the N900 could not run M6. We've already seen some videos of QT4.6 powered interfaces running on N900-like devices.. it's got to be powerful enough to run it. And multi-touch is just a cop out.

Maybe I'll just buy an N900 from someone who is bound to sell it after being screwed.. that way - I'm not directly paying Nokia . I fully support their work in the Open Source fields.. but this business model just can't stand when the competitors (here in the US) are supporting their devices for years.
