As maemo project is closed
and N900 is part of Nokia Internet Tablet series
for developers by Nokia + developers,
is it not a good idea to recall N900 from shopping malls
for review, upgrades by Nokia service,
to be offered via direct sale channels to developers only.

Acting that way Nokia could be protected from violation of consumer product's , software product's quality standards, set by Department of Commerce, GSMA and other respective bodies, protecting consumers' rights.

Nokia Internet Tablet is an excellent product, Linux-Debian gadget
donated by Nokia to Linux community.

Nokia Internet Tablet, N900, N810, N800, Nokia 770 series
is not a final product intended for general consumer,
so recalling N900 from shopping malls by Nokia is a good move,
as Maemo project has just been officially closed and replaced by another project.

Nokia - Intel alliance is about processors + mobile Linux,
so chances for the further support for maemo - based products are low if any.

Moving N900 to direct sale channels open to Linux developers
is an excellent idea, not hurting relations between investors and Nokia, listed as a public company.





To meet GSMA standards, any product called and named as a GSM phone, must be reliable and show full range of features known from GSM standards set by GSMA.


What comes to a market is a product in development phase,
so it should be donated, sold risk-free to developers, via direct sale pre-order channels only.

Otherwise, going to an open market with half-finished GSM product in development phase may hurt business relations of Nokia with investors and raise questions about software development quality standards.
