this actually is the thing you got wrong. meego is the only of the three which supports the phone. and you don't know how long that will last.

More than a year before the release of the N900, Nokia announced that the Maemo 5 to Maemo 6 transition would bring a fundamental change, a switch from GTK to Qt. While it's certainly disappointing that Nokia has continued their tendency to not provide polished, officially supported releases of new Maemo versions for past Maemo devices, they didn't hide the fact that major changes were looming in Maemo's future.

At Maemo Summit 2009, prior to the release of the N900, Nokia even announced that Maemo 6's UI would assume the presence of a multitouch, capacitive screen. So, we knew Maemo 6 would bring major changes, and we knew we had received only murky, at best mixed, signals as to whether Maemo 6 might ever run on the N900. The surprise that followed the release of the N900 was that the marketing folks had decided to relabel "Maemo 6" as "MeeGo 1.0N".

What's in a name? Even Nokia's own (non-marketing) employees have an amusing tendency to still call Harmattan "Maemo 6".

most consumers expect a phone that "just works"

n900 is NOT a phone that "just works"

hell the n900 is not a super hit amongst techies in my experience (i work in IT as a BA and I am the only one with a n900, all the architects, coders and testers have andriod and iphones)

Just for your interest, there is a university that may not be heard among techies you acquainted with believe N900 might just work: http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee282/...amming.4pp.pdf

They're just wasting students's time on something from strange foreign country that not works. I must write to Arnold Schwarzenegger to do something about it, or I'll not watch any of his movie ever again.

Oh great, now you need to take a uni class to get qualified to handle an n900.

N97 is the Nokia phone from 2009 that failed in the consumer market. N900 sold better than expected. Even some consumers bought it.
