Google is already global MNO.
Nokia is not MNO, so any comparison doesn't make any sense.

Google is US made corporation and Nokia is Europe made corporation.
Google must live 4 times faster than Nokia, publishing 4 financial reports to investors in a year as a public listed company (Wall Street).

The same for Apple.
Nokia acquired Navteq with maps but is not as much business aggresive
and success oriented as US-based corporations, as EU + Russia secured sales markets for Nokia made phones for a long time.

Let's call N900 and all family of Nokia Internet Tablet as an excellent
gadget by Linux developers for Linux developer
and please stop counting money.

Nokia did a good job but others live faster, powered by overlocked minds.

So business success alone is not always a real success.

how about Google and their "support" for the G1 (or the Android Dev Phone 1, which i had for a while) and versions of Android past 1.6? oh yes, it's not happening. why? hardware limitations.

why is Nokia keeping quiet about future support (and by that i assume you mean Maemo6) on the N900? hardware limitations, more than likely.

what are you talking about?

OF COURSE nokia is a multi-national organization ( i assume that's what you meant by MNO)... they have 4 times the employees that google has, and i assure you, they are not all in finland.

also, NOK is a NYSE listed stock, so the same rules apply, regardless of where their headquarters is.

It is good to see that the Geek Gods are even weirder.
Hehehe, good thing you're still weirder than most non-god people. And perhaps you could be considered a geek demigod within our little community at least.

I keep hearing about how the N900 is a geek phone and how it isn't ready for the masses etc etc, and people keep saying, "I'm a geek, so I love the N900, but I wouldn't recommend it to my mom," but this is quite a humorous role reversal in my eyes...
Exactly I also find more interesting when people from other fields bought N900s, because geeks' choice is quite obvious
For example a couple of days ago someone twited that a unknown British singer(at least for me) got a N900 and she is loving the devices, check out her twits: https://twitter.com/Wheelah
Nokia should give way some devices to some rock/pop stars
