Greetings to the Maemo community.

Short description: Should I get a Nokia N900? Or soon after I get one will it be totally dead?

Long description:
Recently, I was going through reviews of various phones. I like Nokia N900 due to the fact that its entirely running GNU/Linux and we can program in C and GTK+ (I like C and not C++).

So my concerns are:
I read that N900 will be the last device to run Maemo since MeeGo is what Nokia concentrating on.
Maemo is open source, isn't? So I expect that there will be community support.
I want to learn more and develop for the N900 (maemo, though nokia stopped developing it.) So can I expect community help?

Btw, I am a programmer. I do ActionScript 3 programming and C programming. I think that N900 is suitable device for a programmer. I want to hear the opinions of the Maemo community since you guys are already using and are experts in it.

Thank You,
