Thanks for the link, though I had not actively been looking for it. Why I consider the 4/5 thesis to be an optimistic one? Simple, Nokia has a reputation of letting it's clients drop as soon as the money has come in. Meego was or is by many people on the board here considered to be step 5/5 but most people took this whole step-thing to be something available for the n900. I believe we know now that this will not be the case, at least, not from an official point of view.

Personally I don't really care, as I love my device no less and it gives me almost anything I could possibly want.
