I think you lot are being overly pessimistic. I have little doubt that there will be a PR1.3 and possibly subsequent updates.

It's very important for Nokia to keep app developers and the mod community on board with S^3 just launching and Meego & S^4 just around the corner.

I'm sure this isn't lost on them.

Also, the N900 is still being manafactured (or so I am told). None of these factors point to a device which will be abandoned any time soon.
