If this isn't a cell phone, and you're pushing it as a general computing device on par with desktops, laptops or even PDA's, then by God, I do expect it to be supported with updates, patches and a good bonus would be general compatibility with other operating systems too. If it was just a cell phone, then why is it such a crappy phone? In which case, I'd expect they should WANT to update it to make it more attractive as a phone.
Well put, why doom a phone by not updating it to the newer software. If there is a phone from tha same company but with the bigger and better software no one is going to want to buy the n900 after this future phone is released.
If the future phone with maemo with an all touch screen then wouldnt it make sense to update the n900 so that they could have one touch and one with a full keyboard. I would think that would boost their sales and give them a MUCH better lineup. just my 2 cents.
