I really don't give a flying f*** about trust and corporate politics.
Other companies sometimes have just as shitty short term support too. I had that with my Samsung OmniaHD. One broken software update after the other and after 10 months no more updates. This can happen to you with any manufacturer these days.
If Nokia's meego device is a phone with a hw keyboard and is mostly open and has better specs than N900 then I'll buy it. Unless someone else makes a better mostly open Linux fone...
