@ wmarone, previous experience with Nokia as a company and not holding to it's product roadmaps (mostly due to wrong supply chain management). I strongly believe that we should be either assured of the fact that n900 will be supported by meego, or that it wont. So people may stop buying phone that will be dropped (probably also by quite a few developers) after half a year.

@Strive, in sourcing/procurement for both NPI and already existing product lines.
I'm in Nokia every month on average, and I believe they will take at least the time to reply to my email purely because they know my face for years. And them ignoring it would be purely rude.

@mattiviljanen, well I would expect major bugs to be fixed to be honest. That's the unwritten promise we all got form Nokia when buying a device that was still in 'Beta' stages.
