I just wish Nokia would communicate a bit more and/or make more public statements about the developments of maemo and MeeGo.

Many of the developments of the n900 are/were based purely on rumours.
Usually qgil has had to make statements on Nokia's behalf.

I bought the n900 last year and never expected and mapping software at all. Unfortunately Nokia released a free version of OVI maps for other devices and completely ignored the n900 community.
No announcements were made either way -"yes you will eventually get it " or "no - only symbian devices will get it".

Nokia said absolutely nothing and upset many users.

It is the overwhelming silence that paints Nokia with an almost arrogant atititude.

We still do not know offically if we are getting the "free" version of OVI maps.
