In short, yes... not only are you wrong, but the sheer magnitude of how wrong you are is incomprehensible. Nokia's giving back to the software they are using just as much as the Pandora guys are... and *way* more. Don't believe me? Go look for @nokia.com addresses in commit messages all over the place.

It's the whole reason why Maemo isn't simply an internal Nokia project.
I think he meant more the other way around.. stating that they develop the Maemo OS, while external people (developers) cannot contribute (much) to the OS project (not talking about apps); his ideal would be that the community provides the lead and major work on the OS, and Nokia contributes to it with fixes, drivers, and hardware.
Am i wrong? Sorry if I am.
And not being involved at all in developing, mines are just conjectures.
Actually, my question: to what degree can external developers contribute to Maemo? (apart from filing bugs in bugzilla and the brainstorm section)

I would carry around 2 devices with a N900, too... it's just not good enough as a phone, so I'll still have to take my 6110 navigator with me.

no difference there.

That thing looks ugly as hell. It is so not sexy like the N900.
