Only when nokia announced Meego not for n900 it all this started.

About the price, lets use logic. Palm Pre was out at about the time and had under its hood more or less the same hardware as the N900.
Same goes for the Droid/Milestone. All those had the same price tag more or less. So no, we didnt get a "beta" discount.

And I'll state again that the Droid is supposed to be getting yet another update soon. Mind you, it's not the next release, but it's still being actively supported with firmware updates, features, patches and fixes--quite frequent and very, very good ones. As you said, it was out nearly at the same time as the N900. I'll state again, as well, that I'm very glad I skipped the N900. I hope MeeGo will be a far better experience, despite my crestfallen experiences with Nokia.

That post to this thread was a terrible, stupid post. I should report it for being pointless and belligerent.
