As far as I can tell the MeeGo announcement has made no real difference to the N900. M6 will still be released as planned just with a different name. It'll still be debian based, it'll still use QT, it'll most likely still run on ARM hardware. So the N900 is still in exactly the same boat it was in when released 3 months ago.
indeed, you're right on that. However when Nokia can't/won't even tell us what to expect and when to expect it for Maemo 5/N900. There is no guarantee that they won't drop it and leave it unsupported because they've just kept quiet. Nokia have previously even promised features for a range of phones (N-Gage support) only to then quietly forget about it. They've made faulty, poorly designed and under-specced phones and not supported them with a long-enough support period. The point of this thread seems to be to say to Nokia this won't do and can you please tell us what's going on... not exactly a big ask!
