... easy - because Nokia is not willing to spend $$$ to support it

in a corporate environment, thats the bottom line - you can spin any type of subjective measure you want, but at the end of the day you just look at the resources devoted by Nokia to support the N900, the answer is clear as to how NOKIA views the n900.

- We STILL do NOT have navigation that is free for other Nokia phones
- There will be NO official support for Meego (I dont believe the multitouch BS - yea right)
- Nokia is NOT willing to pay $$$ to update flash on n900.
- N900 in the Ovi store - need I say more ?

If the N900 was a commercial success, then $$$ will be devoted for support and communicate with the userbase to keep them happy to make sure they stay with Nokia.

Instead what did we get ? utter silence, half based excuses and missed deadlines... behavior consistent with them wanting to cut the n900 loose, avoid $$$ liability and sweep it under the carpet. Many users are pissed off and have sworn off the Nokia brand.

You can spin these points all you want, but it tells me all I need to know about how NOKIA sees the N900...

ps- the n900 is an absolute great device, but on the issue as to how Nokia views the n900 and by extension how commercially successful the n900 was, it is quite clear.
