I hope you share your ideas on this topic.
... usage of linux package management on your phone (apt-get)?
.√.. enough horsepower to compile on device .√.
... privacy? (given Security we can probably hack privacy ?)
.√.. security? (as no spyware devices)
.√.. choice between multiple OSes?
.√.=.√.=.√.=.√.=.√.=.√.=.√. default no Android?
... Maemo?
.√.. root access out of the box?
... hacking and tinkering experience?
.√.. using standard linux apps?
... ability to run current linux kernel for long time?
... standard linux desktop like experience?
... updated N900 with more than enough RAM compared to almost no free RAM on N900?
...

I wonder what price will be on kickstarter, because it was too much for me in preorder.
Anyway I love Nokia n9 I use daily. Harmattan is much better than Maemo5 IMHO. I got also N950 and that's best design of smartphone ever.
What I like in N900 is camera slide cover(n9's lenses are all the time getting dirty in trouser's pocket), embedded stand and N900 has way better support for keyaboard/volume buttons[because it lacks multi-touch].
And n9 OLED screen is superior to n900/n950 TFT.
Unfortunately there's no cheap n950 leftovers like n900 (because of procr, I bought only one, otherwise it definitely would be my daily driver...)-;

What makes anybody think a kickstarter was to increase the price for the device?

Using phrases like "your post is particularly incoherent" can be seen as a sign of arrogance which is rather unbecoming in your position.
leaving other points of criticism in your post aside, this is particularly incorrect.

If they don't have enough N900s in hand now, and they can't entice additional N900 owners to go board-only, then the Kickstarter campaign will essentially be asking those who have pre-ordered already to send in more money, still with no product in sight.

Please don't escalade to the left or right. The N900 has been a wonderfull device and for the next 50 years there will be nothing like that again. It's like ancient and forgotten technology.

I mean neo900.org should answer questions clearly. The question was raised after the word kickstarter appeared. After such a long timewe forgot that it was planned and forgotten what it was for. And thoughts pop-up: What the ... , do I need throw even more money? Why that? What the ... are they doing with the funds?
So instead of accusing the other of stupid question, more or less. Neo900.org should aim to describe and explain clearly and effectively what is the status. Every answer should almost fit in a SMS
See my post as feedback. It's not my intention to ignite a fight. While I hope this project succeeds, I simply can't afford it myself. So I my emotion are not as high, as I am not part of it...

All times are GMT. The time now is 18:28.
I know communication on IRC was/is alive. But I guess very few peeps here follow there.
So communication here, tmo, is the key (besides neo900.org).
Nevertheless I personally do not expect that device to appear before BER
