It's not about upgrading... It's about user and developer base. We know close to nothing about application compatibility with the new platform. Even the time I consumed to learn how to use the "advanced" features of this device seems now futile. The one wm phone I had was ultimate crap, but now I see other peoples' htc's and I KNOW the very depths of them. I mean now, if a developer wants to make an app, will he go for the maemo meego whatever platform?
Last year it seemed the way to go was s60v5. I got a 5800, I gathered all my favorite apps. learned to hack and customize it, and then there they announce a brand new promising platform that I thought maybe it is worth the extra time to migrate to. Now it seems we have to move all over again. And the bad thing is we are not sure it's here to stay. Just look at how many platforms Nokia has changed on the high-end communicator-tablet segment.
Symbian UIQ (nokia 6708) - abandoned
Series 80 (9xxx communicators) - abandoned
Series 90 (Nokia 7710) - merged with S60 (in effect abandoned)
S60v3 (E90) - no new communicator as of now
S60v5 (5800XM, N97)
OS200x (I see it as a different platform as there is very limited application compatibility with M5)
Maemo 5 (N900) - abandoned? hope the merger with moblin does not end up like S90 and S60
