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.
Wow, that was amazing I had that phone and I remember being really conflicted choosing between that and an E71. Two years later my wife's E71 is still getting updates whereas the N78 was left to languish in a bug infested state.
The current level of bug fixes and support and the promise of meego and QT support on the N900 is positively incomparable to that debacle
