If you know anything about design factors then any company worth their salt will either re-design or cut there losses and bring out a complete new design altogether.
As the N900 lost it's credibility very fast due to this problem is probably the reason.
Nope. Sorry. Everything I have seen says that it sold BETTER then expected for a "step x of y" device. The USB port isn't a big deal to fix, and isn't actually that easy to break (mine works fine, and I plug it in 2-4 times a day, and its stock)

The thing is everyone knows the n900 is a one-of-a-kind device that is going to be community supported very soon. Unless you live in a cave, you know this. You may not have known it last fall, but you know it for sure now.

So, yeah, the next linux device isn't going to be the n900, and it's going to run meego, which may run on the n900 but isn't going to be officially supported on the n900.

We should have a NEW topic about this with a non-descriptive title at least three times a day, just to make sure we all know this. Because we may have forgotten since the last topic.

BTW, meego is SWEET on a netbook. I just got around to putting it on my acer this weekend. If the ux on a phone-sized device is done right, it will be very good
