The reality is, why would any company spend resources on a device they no longer sell and on a OS they have deprecated? Resources such as developers, QA, product managers, builds..

As a CEO, I would want him to utilize those resources on the n9 instead of pleasing a few geek fanboys on a dead product.

But yeah, what Nokia did to the n900 really sucks! The N9 has to really WOW to receive any forgiveness. A 100 dollar trade-in for the n9 against the n900 would not hurt either...
