I say this because b) isn't a rational reason at all. Before anybody says "But Nokias are built like a tank" I'd say sure they use to be but these days it seems everybody wants a higher margin since the N900 has it's fair share of problems; namely USB port (never had this problem myself), white spots on screen, camera cover popping off, stand flexure mechanism breaking, magnet coming off. Still love my N900 though.
This has nothing to do with maemo or meego, its about ME.

I want what I want, I never wanted meego or maemo, I want a x86 linux like experience on a small tablet. That was NEVER what was intended from the devices. Usage was somewhere between. My point is as others have asserted there was a tablet market before the n900. Make your MS phones, give us back the tablet. maemo, meego, I do not care. Hardware is all I ever asked for?

rely? no it was request

I never owned an n900, but my Nokia equipment was built solid. I would take n810 size, we just need that dual core arm
