FUD my ***. All in with Maemo 5 ? are you nuts ?

If they go all in, they would have invested in proper Ovi maps, done a proper Ovi Store, made the annoucement with flash and most importantly, added Meego. They would have supported the n900 with all their effort to make it all it could be and user them as marketing points.

You serious think they are going "ALL IN" when a CRAP ovi maps like they have now ? or a CRAP store with only a few (not even open yet !) apps ? or not had the next iteration of OS ? Or no flash ? All of which gives competitors talking points to deride the n900 with ? If you are, you SUCK at marketing.

The reason why all of the above is not done is $$$ bottom line.

As for launching it in India and Hong Kong etc, this is harvesting the product for all the cash it can generate. If the product is developed and they are not investing any more for it, the logical course of action is to flog the device to anyone that will buy it to get as much return as possible so they can focus on their next product.

Even Qt - why do you think they take that direction ? Because once that done "lack of apps" issue is all in the dev's hands. Their hands are clean - no need to do more. Its a logical cut off.

As for CRYING about flash - guess what - Nokia marketing the n900 as an INTERNET MULTIMEDIA tablet with FLASH as a major selling point that made it BETTER then other phones. Now when flash upgrades they dont upgrade it as well ? Maybe YOU dont feel decieved, but plenty of people do and they are right to be pissed about it when they lose access to content they previously could access when sites upgrade to new flash 10.1

Christ its not as if I am ANTI n900 - the n900 is an exceptional product and is the uberchoice for a segment of users. Its multitasking ability and ability to play xvid vids and its current browsers are all breat. What I am pissed off about is Nokia's mishandling of it and the screwing of its customers. You guys defend Nokia as if they have done a sterling job.

Fanboys here react to any criticism by deriding it as "FUD !", when Nokia's past behaviour on the nxx series has proven their lack of customer support orientation. THe SUPER IRONIC thing is one of the responses by most here to customers who feel disappointed in the product is that "YOU DIDNT DO YOUR HOMEWORK !" and that users should ONLY BUY THE N900 for what it is NOW and that if they expected anymore, it was their OWN DAMN FAULT.

THen when confronted with points stating that new users should only buy N900 what WHAT IT IS NOW and do not expect any support from Nokia going forward, fanboys turn around and say "FUD !"

Get your story straight. You think you are better then Apple Fanboys ? well you are not, because you cant see past the logical inconsistency in your own stories.
