otherwise the American FOSS crowd may end up supporting the wrong platform just because it's Google.

By the way, I had absolutely no idea that chris WAS an analyst. What I said was partially a joke and it's through experiences where I had inside info on quite a few different things (completely unrelated to tablets, Nokia, cell phones, etc...) only to hear analysts "guarantee" things that were completely wrong.

Please 'scuse the ignorance, as i've been under the (un?)friendly confines of sprint since..forever.. but how are issues handled with unlocked phones via carrier insurance?
Say i buy the N900 unlocked and the phone acts up, needs servicing or replacing.. do i turn to Nokia, or the carrier its under?

Go to local Chinatown. Find shady looking phone shop. Find N900. Get 2 line T-Mobile family plan. Get free N900.
I did this when the N95-1 first came out. The receipt said $800 but I only paid for the activation.

If you don't buy from the carrier you cannot expect hardware support from them.
Support would be from Nokia. Maybe seller if problems occur shortly after purchase.

Hey! I'm full of it 95% of the time. Don't shortchange this analyst's BS!

And despite the rumors, Symbian isn't dead. It fits a niche Maemo isn't suited for. The N900 is an almost minimum hardware setup for Maemo, requiring 3D for the UI, etc., whereas Symbian is more versatile as far as hardware is concerned.
Totally agree on opinions of analyst have worthless opinions.
(corrected in respect to texrat)
@christexaport
I don't think the maemo community know much about symbian-freak since s60 got nothing to do with the people here... lol
so Symbian and Maemo are of the same bloodline come 18 months from now.
