Thanks for that explanation. Now let me explain from a CUSTOMER point of view (since I can vote with my wallet by never purchasing another Nokia device again, and influencing my family and peers to do the same)

I bought the N900 1 month ago. After monitoring the bug tracker and the brainstorm(lol..) section of this site, I'm noticing a LOT of issues being pushed off on the NEXT version of maemo, and there IS NO OFFICIAL WORD that maemo 6 will even work on the N900. As a consumer, this sickens me. Technical reasons or not, Nokia ****ed up, and I know I'm not the only consumer of the N900 that is thoroughly upset with Nokia's 1) lack of communication with the customers, 2) focusing bug fixes and features on a totally different OS ONE(1) MONTH AFTER IT IS RELEASED (again that may not even work on N900, but Nokia gives NO peace of mind here!)

As a business professional, I SERIOUSLY question the "do not tell the customer anything!" strategy that Nokia is taking on this issue (and pretty much every issue I can remember with my experience dealing with Nokia and their products). Some companies can be successful in slowly feeding information to customers (Apple), Nokia has demonstrated time and time again that they are doing it totally wrong.

Hey Nokia, quit avoiding the question. Will Maemo 6 run on the N900?
