i think the reason why most of us are so disapointed about this news is that nokia told us, that the nokia n900 will be the first device of many following in the future with the (new) os maemo 5 which will be THE os for the next high end devices... that was an official statement before the n900 was released... and that is a lie! meego will be the new os and without the support of meego for n900 it is still a lie...

and THAT is the problem!

now, after this news is official, what makes meego different to maemo? in a year, nokia could say that meego wont be supported anymore, because symbian will be the only platform supported by their fture touch phones? no one knows... and that makes me scared because i loved nokia phones since they exists...

If you guys think that nokia will still support maemo, that they will bring out more updates, believe me, it wont be more, it will be less... ask the guys in the other device-threads... its some kind of poor for nokia imho...

nokia always says, that they listen to the community... but i donk think so... and maemo.org will be... in the near future... never be the same... like every time when nokia stopped supporting a nxxx devices (and 770) in the past...

for me, this will be a big lesson. never buy a nokia nxxx... it wont be supported long... maybe, my next device will be something that talks moore@home... if feel this kind of desire... or again a nokia? i dont know...

just my 2 cents
