Ok. As it stands, if you put the upcoming MeeGo build onto your N900, you will not be able to receive phone calls, make phone calls, et al. Last I checked, the N900 has those capabilities.

To upgrade and lose that functionality makes zero sense.

You are really weird bird. You are almost in every possible thread telling how support sucks and then you embrace android hacks.
Because I never lost any functionality with any hack I employed on my Android phone. Changed the file system, I received a phone call once I was done doing that. Changed the launcher, I made a phone call after that. Switch from the JF6 to the JH3 firmware... and it still worked, installed, viewed the web and I lost zero functionality.

You cannot say the exact, 100% same for the N900. If you switch to Debian, you lose the ability to make phone calls fully. Or you lose Flash. Switch to Nitdroid, you gain Flash 10.1, but they've yet to get phone calls (but that's RIGHT around the corner).

What's so ****ing weird about that? I buy a phone, I want to receive a phone call on it. I actually talk to people.

Are you basically trying to say that what you need is google's application pack on n900? Or what are you missing on n900 that you get from android hacks?
*facepalm*

Heck no. Where did that come from!?

Do android hacks change how android phones phone application work?
Not at all. And that's the point. If I switch to the JF7 firmware (and I might) I lose nothing. If I switch to other firmwares, I lose no functionality.

Can the same be said about the N900?
