must admit that i feel the same, symbian has not been the best system, but i really like maemo with it's openness and unlimited usage.

but when i saw the merger to MS i really lost all respect for nokia, i will still want to see what the N9 brings, but if it blows (Meego or Symbian) the N900 will stay with me as long as it lives, god knows i have enough battery's to almost go years without recharging .

in my view nokia is going the realize their mistake at some point but the it will be to late to salvage.
can remember when they launched the N97, they lost alot of good developers like the ones here at maemo, but now they are in jeopardy of loosing the rest with this move to join MS, and use a OS thats lightyears behind everything else.
i would rather have an Iphone then anything running MS, and i really really dislike apple........
