Forget about Nokia, they never really care about N900, never pays proper attention. It survives because there're so many community provided apps, games, and so on. They help to fix and provides the features lacking in the N900, and even up till today, Nokia still can provide some of the BASIC ones; After so long, they only able to provide the USSD (wow!) feature, while there's so many BASIC features already provided by the Community since long ago; After so long, they only able to implement and provide ONE and ONLY ONE, Facebook Chat IM into the Contacts Account. OH WOW!

Sincerely and honestly, if there is no community support, N900 is long dead. Their OVI store for N900 is still pretty much a dead place. Such a great device but ruined by poor support from Nokia, lack of attention. Either they should've delay MeeGo or just don't launch the N900 in the first place, and directly concentrate on MeeGo. Now they have to maintain another device which they're trying to wash their hands off. You see vast development of MeeGo, but a simple update of N900 takes ages.
I believe the community will survive a good amount of time even if it is unofficial community on another website but yes Nokia is very lame however I think will pick up an n900 from Amazon. Also the Nokia n900 will live on unofficially the way the Amiga and Amiga mostly dead for so many years still places to get help and software and still community web site I guess. I find it weird that Nokia developed Meego when they already Maemo which is better in my opinion because more established Nokia could just improve what they already have instead of developing something that they don't need to develop the fact is Nokia makes phones and one laptop they don't make tvs or gps'. They only to support 800x480 and 640x360 screens and arm processors ok that is the fact. I guess owning a n900 is like owning Amiga excellent hardware and software truly ahead of the game but bad company and management kills it sad.
