the actual point was does anyone know if or when nokia may start to support their own " experiment" ??

i am aware i could sell it and buy something else, the point is i don't want too , i guess i will have to try and learn to do stuff myself or make suggestions to keep the device fresh..

James, firstly welcome to the forum and apologies on behalf of the saner people that your thread got hijaaked.

Maemo has always been a platform for hackers/developers and people that like to play with the device themselves. Nokia is a huge corporation but the Maemo team are only a tiny part of that organisation.

The N900 is billed as a step 4 of 5 by Nokia in that it isn"t quite a device ready for the masses yet. The early adopters that Nokia intended the device for enjoy being part of the force that shapes then next iteration (as we did with Diablo).

We are still in the early days of Maemo 5 and Nokia tend to release and then develop rather than keep everything secret and release when finally all done. Hopefully you will get used to being part of the support through this community.

Enjoy!
