Everybody needs to relax about the future of the N900. Why?

1. Maemo 5 won't stop working because Maemo 6 is out. It will be as terrific as ever.

2. The N900 might get upgraded to Maemo 6. Still yet to be determined.

3. Maemo 6 apps will be QT-based. But QT 4.6 is ported to Maemo 5, so most (if not all) Maemo 6 apps will run on Maemo 5. So Nokia's plan is...the N900/Maemo 5 will continue to be able to run new, cool stuff for a long time, even if it never gets the 5-to-6 upgrade.

4. Nokia (qgil, actually) has already publicly stated - here in this very forum - that right now, Nokia has more than just bugfixes already in the works for Maemo 5 and the N900. Speculate all you want as to what those improvements might be and when they will be implemented. But the point is that more is definitely on the way for the N900. It has not and will not be abandoned anytime soon by Nokia.

Now, given all that, where's the problem?

And why why why would anyone want to replace the most powerful, extensible mobile OS on the planet with friggin' Android? Jeez...90% of why I bought a N900 was to get Maemo and to get rid of Android.
