At least a couple of years of support / updates?
Is that so much to ask?

They decided to drop Maemo and develop Meego. Fine, but at least make your only Maemo device work with Meego.

I won't even start talking about Flash 10.1 because some people here are just too thick.
No. Don't accept Nokia's incompetenance but don't pollute a forum with pointless rants and whining making it a pain for everyone else. And worse the fanboys easily take the bait and start defending Nokia making this look like a Nokia apologist site.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Nokia does not pay attention to this site. And Qgil (one of the few Nokia employees) that once frequented this site likely can't do anythig to change orders from higher up. You think it's easy? Why don't you go to your boss' boss and tell them they are screwing up.

You want to get Nokia's attention? Do something constructive than destructive. Alot of people are discontented on this site, so gather them up. Get them to mass e-mail major tech blogs about Nokia's failure. Get stories. Talk to customer support and pass it onto blogs. Bad press will get Nokia's attention, not whining on a forum they easily ignore. All whining does is make people less likely to help you. It pushes away the developers in this community from publicy posting on this site and makes people who were willing to help turn away in disgust.

This is not directed at you personally H3llb0und but at what I think part of this community has become. And I'm sadden that what I see as the useful group in this community continue to disintegrate due to Nokia and what this community has become.

Not really. You only know of this community because.

a) You own a maemo device
b) You were considering a maemo device

And the community of people who want to buy or own a maemo device isn't that big. Most people buying Nokia phones out there are buying dumbphones and Symbian phones. People here would do more damage Nokia's reputation if they organized and actually got some help from bigger voices out there.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
