Can Nokia just open the path to Android, and leave us alone! Worst thing is to hear the OS you bought for your phone will be discontinued, forked and rebranded ... eventually not having the Corporate 1 year support you though came with buying such a device of this calibre. You'd think Nokia treats people with Smartphones as they do with people who own featurephones ... Nokia CEO's are out of touch. Last time I ever buy a Nokia smartphone, really whats wrong with them and there scorched earth policy all the time. 1 thing right, followed by 10 steps of wrong.
1.2 I hope it is good enough, maybe it is time we create a list of reasons why people shouldn't buy this phone. In our confusion, Nokia has been selling a phone that they refuse to commit to openly. Do you ever see Apple being afraid to acknowledge there commitment to the iPhone, or Palm to its Pre, or Google to its Nexus. Nokia is the only big company that doesn't listen to its users WTF is MeeGo, what an awful name and it undermines 3 months of progress done by community development with one blow to the nuts. I can already see it, less apps are being made for a dead OS ... and now we wait an entire year for a final stable MeeGo build that probably won't be supported by Nokia for the n900 ... and we are to sit here and say thank you!
Folks 6-12 months ago Nokia was at a crossroad ... Maemo or Symbian. Before waiting to see Maemo through they flinched, and ran back to Symbian. MeeGo is a graceful exit, they first start with the name, then with the community (fragmented already), and third they go with Intel the guys who are known to kill things off abruptly.
We need a community website, and all the developers and community members here should all go to it, forget this MeeGo, and stop being beta testers for a company who hasn't done enough to show their commitment to it's customers.
