You are right! It is personal! I bought the phone 1st) for my personal use and 2nd) to show off to these berryheadzz and icoolzz what Linux can do that their blackberries and iphones cannot do.

I don't care about Nokia's business / marketing decision for their future customers if they cannot keep their existing ones happy.

I spent a fortune on this phone whereas, I could have got an iphone 3gs for $200 over a 3-year term. But instead I purchased a phone that cost me four times more ($800) thinking that I could keep this phone for at least three years and that there would be hype for it for at least a year or two. Perhaps, sell it next year for half the price. Even with iphone 3gs, the value of iphone 3g has not gone down that much.

But with the announcement of Meego, who cares about Maemo? Certainly, I don't care about maemo!

I am just saying why would Nokia promote maemo like this if they were well aware that they were going to partner up. You can't tell me that Intel and Nokia got together on the night of Feb. 14th and said let's combine what we have. Obviously, Nokia knew this deal was going to take off.

All I am saying is that Nokia better have a plan for the N900 customers whether it is a monetary incentive for upgrading to a new Meego device or changing the name AND FEATURES of Maemo 5 to call it Meego. Otherwise, I feel like I got ripped off big time!

At this point, I am really confused whether I should keep this piece of nice hardware that will eventually have no value because of its software content.

I wanted to buy a phone that will retain its value for at least two years like the iphone does. But with the announcement of Meego, who is going to buy my maemo phone in 2010? I don't think anybody would!
