For my 2 cents, this was cut directly from the n900 uk nokia page :

The Nokia N900 Mobile Phone .........thats the header !!!!

link on the side to maemo software , how great it is, what it can do , the apps etc , the latest added app on nokias own official page was on 11/12/2009 ?

For me , i use the phone as a phone, to text , and movie player, mp3 player and internet /e-mail, all to me the handset does well , and i will possibly never have the aptitude to write / convert anything for it, but i am trying..

From a purely personal point of view what gets me is the whole "all singing all dancing" type advertising from nokia, and their own site has no new apps added since Dec '09 ??

That to me, personally , smacks to saying we don't really give a rats A**E as you have bought it now , and we will issue support if we feel we need to .

Ok i get its an open source device, and don't get me wrong i love it , but please everyone with the nokia fully support the maemo platform attitude smell the coffee !

I called nokia uk support and asked for the date of the uk new update and they couldn't even tell me a Month, well after the rest of the world have it

Sorry for the length of this un ashamed rant , but do big business really care about a "minority" product and its support , look at their own websites support for the n900

Just my 2p

(btw i love the phone, thats why i bought it, just not nokias laughable support)
