If it happens this year, probably yes, but I can’t figure out who would be buying?

I might buy a new phone but i don't see the point of selling my current one.

I've just got my N900 and loving every minute so far (upgrade from an N95 8gb) so it's way too early for me to say.

I will be a bit disappointed if it's not upgradeable though. I suppose it really depends on what Maemo 6 actually adds.

Depends:

- on each new device I have a list of favourite apps, with N900 I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did - for maemo6 I'll wait till their fully ported if such a thing will even be necessary.
- I didn't want a keyboard but now I don't know how I could live without it, so it depends, rumor has it maemo6 will be keyboard-free
- N900 was quite expensive when I got it, compared to now but... my ol' symbian was falling apart, so I'll get maemo6 @ min 3 months after the release.
- hardware: to be worth it I want to see improvements in video recording and certainly no downgrades. Don't care about multitouch.

So in the end it has to be a shock and a huge leap forward in technology, the way N95 and N900 were, to be worth it.

I really don't see a worthy rival for N900 yet.

hi together i really hope that nokia will bring an maemo6 update for the n9 too but i dont belive in it.

From the marketing side maemo6 and some killer features will be a good reason to sell a new device. That its possible to get a new fw with new features for "older" devices we see with apple. They allow the update to the 1.3fw for the 3g and sold the new device 3gs too.

Im not sure. I want a Keyboard. Since i love my N900, there is no time to hurry for me now. I will wait and see.
I see it like this Maemo6:sure , the first Maemo6 Device:hmmmmmmm. Hope to hear that Nokia brings out a second device with keyboard in 2011.
What i dont think is that maemo6 will be working on the N900. The N900 has no hardware to do multitouch.....

The plan is to get Maemo 6 device when it comes out, but really who knows. We will see the first Maemo 6 device most probally in November or December.

It's the only reason I bought it with a one year contract, I 'might' keep my n900, as I like it more and more each day, and if the new device doesn't have a hardware keyboard, then I will definately keep it..

No.

Because:
I expect Maemo 6 on my n900
I want my next Mameo device to use dual-core Arm A9 + more powerful OpenGL SGX core.

I'm in the 'only if it has a hardware keyboard' camp. Funny, though - I'm actually really pleased with my N900, and if Nokia did nothing but provide security updates I'd still be pleased. Nokia are a business, and if they decide Maemo 6 will only be for new phones that would make sense. Doesn't make my Maemo 5 phone any worse, and it's open enough that the platform won't die as soon as a new OS comes out.
