Unfortunately I don't see Nokia sticking around long due to the reasons you mentioned. Nokia seems to suffer from corporate ADD and can't seem to stick with a scalable track for more then 3 years at a time which is why they have been blundering around the last 4+ years, but at least they were staying in the same ballpark. The MS deal is just so far off track and due to the way they handled it I don't see them being able to recover from this maneuver if\when it fails.

I´m not surprised.

Frankly I just hope they disappear with their WP, and that someone else will arrive with the OS offering that polishing the N900 Maemo 5 could´ve given.

Maemo 5 is a little rough on the edges, but it´s still just so awesome, and so nice to be able to tinker with it. I´m not a FOSS fanatic by any means, and am even a little suspicious of the evangelists, but this compartmentalising of data on WP and iOS is just stupid.

I don´t like invasive and excessive "look-good-but-useless" measures done in the name of "safety" or "security". That goes for both TSA/air travel charade and the kind that doesn´t allow you to save a PDF down in the web browser and open it in the PDF reader.

Hardware wise I wasn´t all that impressed with the N900, this especially has to do with the camera. From a available 3rd party software perspective, I´ve been disappointed. Well even from a Ovi Maps perspective I´ve been disappointed...

But Maemo 5 itself is nice and makes the N900 worth using and keeping.
