I wonder what will happen if a corporation gets sued for such. For example, not providing security and reliability fixes is probably neglecting the 'proper functionality' which is an aspect of warranty under EU law. Does anyone have jurisprudence concerning this?
IANAL, but I would say is handled under warranty (thus on a case by case basis and would be valid only if an advertised feature would be broken or missing), which is different than upgrade-upgrade-upgrade support people are missing (even though bugtracker activity suggests that it, in fact, hasn't completely stopped), both of which are a different thing from what is speculated by the OP, the N900 stopping being sold in a particular country
