This is my first Nokia phone in a number of years, if they drop support for it, I'll surely be buying from a different brand, for myself and for the people in my company, so I doubt how much Nokia will benefit. Also i believe that Nokia should keep us updated and well aware on whats happening regarding our phones and updates, rather than leaving us waiting and just speculating.
Another point is how do they expect to compete with Android and iPhone when they're not developing new applications, games, etc. for Maemo? and if they are developing them, still how do they expect to compete if they're moving at such a slow pace? Don't get me wrong, I love my N900, it's just I'm not satisfied with their service, Even messaging them for problems, support etc, they take ages to reply and then just reply telling me that they don't provide support for my location, then why do they sell them here?...
Nokia dropped the N78-3 like a hot rock. The last update for it in the US was 21.002 (10-03-09). Elsewhere in the world 30.0.015 was released to take care of the issues not addressed by and those issues created by 21.0. That was 13 months ago. The phone works okay as long as you don't run into one of the unfixed issues. The phone had been released five months when Nokiausa stopped selling it and less than a year when the last update arrived. That is what "not supported" looks like.

Nokia is continuing to support the N900 by updating Maemo now and releasing Meego in the future. The future looks bright for the Type RX-51, not the "dropped like a hot rock" treatment at all.
