Really? It's disappointing that within about half a year of development, a brand new OS is not end-use functionality-complete and eats a lot of battery? Never mind that it runs from an SD card, which I suspect may have something to do with energy consumption. I may be wrong, but my suspicion is SD card read-write operations eat slightly more power than the ones on the internal chip.

This is exactly why Nokia decided not to support an official upgrade for the N900 (beyond, you know, the other logical reasons). Because you just know there'll be people who'll expect it to be done in months, and will complain about every little thing not being perfect.

It's not done. Get over that. And more importantly, be grateful that the ONLY problems you have is occasional uboot bugs, battery consumption being high, and some functionality not being there yet. This is development software snapshots. It could be wiping entire chunks of your on-board memory, corrupting file-systems, glitching into doing non-stop writes to your flash chips and slowly burning a hole into them, bricking your phones, and forcing the battery to self-destruct through over-charging.

Instead, we got a lovely, essentially working, easy to install package spoon fed to us. And this is before it's even that close to done. And people are complaining about the MeeGo version in question not having met some rather unfounded expectations?
