I have been stalking these boards for a few months reading bout the 1.2 and if meego would be on the n900 etc. All I can say from a completely outside perspective is SHAME ON NOKIA for not officially getting meego on the n900. You paid how much for your phone? It has been released 7 months? Does Nokia have attention deficit disorder or something? I think n900 owners should get a 50% trade in value or heck just 50% off as a good will gesture from Nokia on the first meego phone.

In real estate they have a term "there goes the neighborhood". I think that is what just happened to the value of the n900.

I guess for a guy like me waiting to perhaps pick one of these up on the cheap this is a good day.

N900 with Maemo will run the same apps and games that MeeGo phones will run so what's the problem?

Belive me. You won't!
The first MeeGo device has a capacitive touchscreen.

So stop trolling and wait with patience for the next N900 competitor...

i think you should do something more than whine. there probably(hopefully) will be a device program for active maemo.org users. unfortunately you don't apply for conditions only creating this thread.....

By that rationale Nokia should also offer all Symbian 60 owners a similar deal when Symbian^3 is launched... and all Symbian^ owners the same deal when Symbian^4...

I don't think anyone really anticipated how things would develop before the Intel/Nokia deal, not even Nokia. Whilst Maemo will (in all probability) fade away in time we have some fantastic opportunities in the meantime.

As an OS Maemo 5 still impresses in many areas and has great potential for a couple of years. That potential will not be developed by Nokia - they have bigger fish to fry now.

The developer community within this forum should be allowed to fully develop all areas of Maemo 5 if Nokia do not want to take on the job themselves.

I think Nokia owe us that lifeline.

This is ridiculous and is never going to happen.

Think it through.

Replace "N900" for "any product" and "Meego phone" for "any updated version of the first product".

I'm Whining? No I'm winning. this will push the phone price way down (make take a few months). I'm actually happy about it from a purely selfish perspective, but that doesn't mean I am happy people got taken by Nokia.

yes you are. see cashclientels post above

I don't see what the big fuss about MeeGo not appearing officially for the N900.

Face it, you don't have any concrete facts to rightfully fuss around either.

You're only dissappointed that soon people will have something you probably won't, and that you'll be left with a perfectly functional but 1 step older device.

u paid for maemo os not meego, get ova urself
