Maybe you guys are right, maybe this compatibility thing will work.

But you know what, I have no trust atm. Nokia's absolute SILENCE and lack of clarity on this issue has me convinced they want to sweep the the n900 under the carpet.

All the statements out so far have been fancy verbal dodging worthly of Bill Clinton, when 1 single CLEAR statement from Nokia can dispel all the "FUD" you claim disgrunted n900 (or accuse us of being astroturfers lol) are spreading

Nokia is doing this to itself, FUD is a natural outgrowth of silence. This is not some stupid campaign waged by Nokia's competitors, it is Nokia's old patterns of behaviour and silence which is doing this.

Until this issue is cleared up, I will not gamble 600$, especially in this economic climate. So my n900 goes back and I will advise friends who were interested in my purchase to hold off until this issue gets clarity.

Again, the biggest fuel for FUD here is spread by Nokia itself, and not anyone else.
