[QUOTE=Bratag;852751][QUOTE]I made the REASONABLE assumption that in 6 months one of my N900's major selling points would not start to become obsolete on the MOST popular websites in the world (YouTube, Google Maps etc.) The very fact I have the flash plugin shows that it is purely software and nothing else and so it is perfectly possible to do this update. This is a mobile computer, not a mobile phone. Assumption yes, but unreasonable - certainly not.

Ok firstly - WTF is bad language now? How bout you read it as where the fudsicles then if you are that easily offended.

My last comment on this topic. Read your above quote. You made the REASONABLE assumption that a feature that NO OTHER PHONE AT THE TIME HAD would in 6 months be upgraded? How is that in any way reasonable.

Look I agree - Nokia could solve this by simply doing what is necessary to get flash 10.1 on the N900. They have obviously chosen not to. But to get all pissed off because you made an assumption based on - lets face it - nothing, and it didn't pan out. Well there is only one person to blame there really isnt there.
It is reasonable because it is such a crucial web technology, one which is well maintained on desktop systems and the N900 is a mobile computer. It is an expensive device and as I already said, comparable to the iPhone and Android devices which are being updated more rigorously. If this was a $200 or less smartphone then my point wouldn't stand but the simple fact is that its more expensive than decent laptops and there is a reasonable expectation as a customer that having paid for a device this expensive, it will be properly supported and receive major updates, not just minor bug fixing ones.
