Again that was a fair point and we can't sugar coat it for Nokia based on a technicality.
if Maemo died that day, there would not have been PR 1.2, nor there would be PR 1.3 which I believe will deliver.

I'm also not sugar coating Nokia, I'm just a bit bored of these "Nokia didn't do as I want, so Nokia SUCKS!!!"-threads. I tend to look at the bigger picture, which is why I understand the decision to concentrate all effort to Meego, even if I cannot understand why Nokia decided not to support MeeGo on N900. For me Maemo 5 is still just one iteration of OS and N900 just a gadget I happen to like as it is. I'm unlikely to buy MeeGo device just one year after N900, I rather see this device through and upgrade only if there is concrete need for it. I also repeat what I have said before: I knew what I was buying, so I don't have that much to complain and I suggest that such devices should not be bought based on speculation and idea that "I want it to be like this or that, so manufacturer X MUST update it to what I WANT or I'll rant about it as long as there's a single forum to write to".
