I must admit another reason I posted was to inflame the fanboys

I did research before buying the N900, I am reasonably happy with the N900 as a phone but I think the change in direction to MeeGo will slow the development down quite a lot for at least 6 months and therefore slow/put off the developers of apps.
I am not a coder (and never will be). The apps are what make a phone and the N900 was going to be a device that would be both, a phone and a computer. I am happy with the computer part, although it turned out I have left my hacking days behind me.
By the way, if Nokia aren’t reading these posts, I would be very surprised.
