I purchased this phone on the hopes that a company with its investors and private agendas wouldn't carry on support for this phone. As time has gone by i have found more communities putting work into this device. Even if there isn't much support from major corporations, it is my understanding, as a linux user that it isn't necessarily required to have a well run project. I assumed most of the people that purchased this phone because it was community driven and not company driven. Even the service providers don't like selling the N900 because of the things that it can do. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2356603,00.asp

You can agree or disagree with me, but i personally think that a larger community based support is better than a Corporate based support. Besides, most cell phone manufacturers only spend a few months supporting a piece of hardware anyways because they are concentrating on R&D on new equipment in order to make the end users buy new models every under a year later.
