I'm amazed by the negativity. As misleading as the headline is, this is still exciting news. PR 1.3 will hopefully add some much needed tweaks to the UI, Maemo has always felt more like a 'work in progress' than other phone OSes.
Regardless, I love that I even have the option of putting a new OS on the device- I'm including NITdroid in this case. Niqbal, you are right, the end-user support or investment has been nil. Nokia seems to have created an OS then said, "here, go do something with this" and the community has had to fill in the gaps in functionality (i.e. headphone daemon to pause media when the headphone is disconnected. The Ovi store for N900 is still exceedingly devoid of anything useful... At any rate, I am still glad I have the device. I can do stuff with it that no other phone can do without either hacking or enslaving myself to a carrier...
I will definitely drop Meego into my phone when it drops. I am cautiously optimistic, I think meego does a lot of stuff right and that Nokia is making the changes they need in their mentality to surprise people in the next year.
