Rubbish, no one has said Nokia will discontinue updates after PR1.3, all that has been stated is that is the worst case scenario.

Why do you continue to bring us all down? How is "our" situation getting bleaker? What has happened in the past few months since PR1.2 that makes "our" situation any worse?

No, it isn't possible.

No offence intended, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't want to work for _you_ ..

What do you mean by more "integration", you want us all to get jobs at Nokia?

Contribute & Test.

I think it's the trolls (looks at you) that spread "Fear Uncertaintly and Doubt" around these forums.

As a last note from me i want you before commenting to realise that i in fact own 5 N900's so for me it is a very serious situation.

I have done various things with the hardware but am not prepared to give out details untill we have a FULLY open drivers source and a solid Meego OS to support the minor wiring changes i have made to enable USB OTG, HOST mode among other mods.

Answers?.
I still don't believe you've done any wiring mods to an N900, though I can imagine you going through 5 in the process ...

We don't need hardware changes for plain old USB host mode. So, I don't think anyone gives a flying f*ck about your rewiring regardless.

Anyhow, answering the actual question "What is the community prepared to do for "us" regarding the N900?", we do what we want to do, sometimes, if someone comes up with a good idea, we'll do it.

What are you prepared to do?
