There would have to be a LOOOT of compelling software functionality for me to want to bother spending near-laptop money on this thing and right now, it isn't there.
Ditto. I've gotten real used to carrying two devices and honestly, I'd rather have the browser on the N900, the screen from the N810, and ultimately I'd be able to drop my iPhone and go with a simpler phone, saving me $30 a month for data I rarely use outside of wi-fi areas.

The non-committal answers surrounding something as simple as "Yes, we'll continue to support your N900 with the next Maemo OS, thus making early adopters and their valuable input that much more important to refining step 4 out of 5 and making step 5 of 5 an inevitable success..." would lord... make me buy one right now.

Simply because then I'd know that in 13 months from release, I'd not be left behind like I was with the N810. Past behavior from Nokia made me gun shy. Then the price - sorry, I got hit during this recession finally - so knowing that I'll not be losing an investment.

Maybe being aloof is the new "hype" perhaps.
