I actually agree with that statement.
Does that make
me
a troll now?
Nokia gives next to no information regarding the device, the twitter hoopla they put together ignores the platform and questions altogether, and the theoretical "ARM development" platform for MeeGo was far behind the curve at MeeGo release than it's Intel counterpart. It actually for the most part still seems to be.
I know the N900 team is working hard on that (Stskeeps included), but you have to realize that with no official support on a MeeGo adaptation to the N900 we are not going to get a perfect OS. Also, Stskeeps is the first to tell you he
isn't
a "Nokian". I do believe they cut him a check, but I don't think he's actually "in" Nokia. So, they (Nokia) are going to get it (MeeGo) to a "good enough" level and let it slide by, because honestly, why continue developing on something they won't make any more money off of? Now, hopefully the community will be able to go from "Good enough" to end-user reliable but that's still speculation if that will happen.
The N900 and Maemo 5 are about as high on Nokia's radar as the Palm Pre is in the smartphone arena. Or at least, that is the by and large impression they are leaving.
Now, that's not saying there isn't a
future
to the N900 in MeeGo, like I said that's speculation at this point, however with no official support and with MeeGo's own UI frameworks talking about using things such as multi-touch being an integral part of the OS - the N900 is certainly not the
target
for MeeGo.
I love my N900.. there is no other phone in the Market right now that even comes close to be a better fit for me than the N900. I'm not spreading FUD.. I'm simply speaking bluntly on exactly the way
appearances
are right now. And these appearances are by and large Nokia's fault.
