I like to dev my own apps, and I have tried and don't like java/android - having had previous experience using Qt - I like the development env on my Nokia N900 and like the way it acts pretty much the same as most linux boxes, but happens to fit in my pocket. I don't care for a smart phone 1 bit, that's not why i bought it.

I'll keep my n900 untill something similar (in terms of open OS and nice SDK and free from proprietary ties) comes along and if it doesn't, well thats sad.

The problem i saw with Maemo from an average consumers point of view is that they all seem to think more apps means a better device. I have no interest in 99% of the stupid apps (a huge percentage are not even an "app"!) tat say iPhone has available.

So way to go Elop, switch from one platform with few consumer sugar on top apps, to another with few. Oh - and judging by all the dependencies on proprietary systems and plane missing features of WP7, its worse not better than Maemo.

What a Flop.

That said, Hopefully Nokia will continue the nxx0 line of devices just as it has done for several years - it never has been their main product - probably never will be, but as long as they keep coming i'm happy. Integrating the phone feature into the nxx0 line of device s was the point that finally made me want one.

If you look back over the past few years and forget any ambitious plans - WP7 isn't really replacing Maemo/Meego - its merely replacing Symbian, something else I have no care for.
