So if the latest QT libs are just working on the N900 then that means that every app thats build then is still working fine on the N900.. Also the other way around should Nokia support, so the M6 should be able to run all apps of that are made for the M5/N900. Dont break everything again.. Thats just bad for the developers and bad for the people that by the N900+1 and still don't really have apps from day 1.

But this does mean one thing. And i have said this before in other threads. I don't really care if the base OS is not updated any more at some point. BUT the problem is that the current firmware is not only the base OS, It has the email client (Modest) it has the browser (MicroB) it has the Media player and OVI Maps. (and i guess a few more but those are for me the most important onces)

So if it means that i don't get updates anymore also on those.. that would be bad, really really bad. (Modest really really needs to be way better, it doesnt compare to profimail on S60)
Please extract these from the firmware and let those 4 items be just repository applications that you can update.

Don't tell me because they are integrated in the OS. Please if thats the case then that is a very negative thing about linux/maemo. Windows even allows you to override all the default applications if you like....

So extract the applications from the firmware, make sure that M6 apps do run on M5 then i dont mind to much about not being able to upgrade the base OS...
I thought I'd complained about this PLENTY of times before, regarding my N800--and I thought I was told that these programs were removable in Maemo 5 without damaging the system, so you could free up the space for other apps that you prefer. Is this NOT the case?


Also, with regard to Nokia claiming maemo.org isn't a customer support site... where CAN customers go to where Nokia will survey complaints and obtain opinions on their products? Near as I can tell, it doesn't look like the company has ANY inclination to care for the customer, once a sale is completed.. which is, again, fine.. but this is the sort of thing that makes for a lot of regret and loss of loyalty, as I've been chanting repeatedly into the ether.
