Unfortunately there are. Do not get me wrong, I love open source - but in case of commercial product liability is still on Nokia shoulders.
Is N900 hardware totally immune to programming errors? What happens if device is irrecoverably broken within warranty period so oryginal software cannot be restored? That's the reason it is important that Nokia assures compatibility with MeeGo, not community.
And so here is my concern why Nokia keeps silent about it and even more: trying to drag community developers to new platform so the chances to have dynamic community around N900 are even lower.
