Yes it would also keep N900 doubters if they knew what was in the pipeline. I have considered very carefully last weekend whether to change the N900 for something else as I cannot see whats coming officially and for some aspects is there any light at the end of the tunnel.
Came to the conclusion that actually it does most things very well and nothing else provides the functionality in quite the same way I want.
However having an in 'progress' and an agreed 'to do' list would be a great asset.
