The N8 and other current-gen Symbian phones do not have the proper browser and horsepower background to take full advantage of Flash 10, so there is no point in protecting them from other Nokia products. Not to mention that the N900 is one of the most expensive Nokia phones, so there is actually a business interest in selling them with Flash 10. Because, you now, they still ARE selling N900s. I know what Qole tweeted, but it still does not make sense no matter how I look at it.
But I'm going to guess that its a case of flash not coming to Maemo 5 rather than the N900. Yes, I know that the N900 is still being sold, but that is of no relevance in this regard. A quick look at the enhancement requests handling in Bugzilla is proof enough of how much effort is being put in to enhace Maemo 5.
Unless the implementation effort put in to port 10.1 to Maemo 5 also helps for Meego/Harmattan. I don't see it happening.
Look at any other platform getting the update. Been quite vocal, haven't they? But, if Nokia is going to get it done, then if nothing else they could learn to communicate better to their end users.

This reasoning would make sense if the new phones would cost more than the N900 and have a rougly equivalent hardware. But they don’t. All symbian phones have weaker CPU-s and cost less than the N900 (except the N97, which is roughly the same). And if they wait for MeeGo, that means 6 months of Android Flash 10.1 dominance, which, again, will lower the sales of ALL high-end Nokia phones. No, seriously, it makes no business sense.

No, it doesn't make any business sense at all. I am wondering, with my conspiracy theory head on, if Nokia and Adobe haven't said let's not release it officially, have one of the meamo bods port it, then put it around that, hey, contrary to what Jobs said it's so open a hacker ported it to the N900.
Aside from that, I genuinely find it totally depressing that the wonderful invention that is the internet is now going through what seems like a turf war. Screw this planet sometimes, and the selfish people on it. It depresses me. Maybe I'm just becoming an old hippie but seriously, all this crap needs to stop.
If we don't get flash 10 one way or another I'll probably run any other OS that gives me full fat web. That's chiefly why I bought the N900, all the other lovely features are great. But I want a full browser. We shall see!

you may have a point HellFlyer, looks like we may have to wait till Meego for 10.1 or even a slim chance of ever having Air. I am quite annoyed the n900 is everything I want in a phone and flash is a huge reason I purchased one recently.
Before buying the n900 I saw that damn demo vid in youtube and assumed the old version 9 could be updated. I didn't bother searching here for flash player 10 stuff. Hope I don't have to switch to Android or something just to use the latest flash and air. After showing the world that demo I really think they should finish the development on the platform they teased us on.
Here is me crossing my fingers with the rest of you

"Better" is relative, since not many games work, due to no keyboard (need arrow keys for a lot of Flash games). The games play smoother though- again moot, since controls suck on Incredible (by default).
N900 plays MAME too good to give up on though
Raiden 2 and Hot Shots Golf at full FPS are also nice Update:
The game emulators are also nice, due to keyboard.... No Flash 10.1..... why Nokia? You have betraaaaaayed us

In a perfect world, Nokia will include Flash 10.1 in the upcoming PR1.2 update. Everyone will be shoked, all the blogs will fill with exclusive videos and news about it.

How about we wait for Adobe to release Flash 10.1 *first* and *then* start the national t.m.o. hobby ?
