You selectively quoted me. I did continue to state that as far as it goes, the closed bits may be the determining factor. I had used Skype and Flash as my examples.

Will the community support those in the form(s) of updates and/or fixes?

I'm afraid not. As far as the rest, the closed bits - mostly power/battery management and other pieces are a concern too... a minor concern though.

But as it stands, this community will have a lot to do to show me that it's not another Fremantle for N8x0 or Mer for that matter. Those things sounded great, but due to obstacles, they never came to fruition.

Let's see how the hand-off goes for Maemo 5 to this community goes... hopefully for the best.

Storage isn't a problem. And the 600mhz barrier can be overcome by overclocking. Both are great.

But I'm running 1280mhz Hummingbird, up from 1ghz for my Samsung Captivate. 1100mhz ain't nothing for the N900.

But it's the software that's a prob going forward perhaps.

I hope so too. I just don't see it lasting more than 6 more months.
