It still strikes me how Maemo/MeeGo consumers have to be so much concerned about the product being a success or not, and getting angry with N9 having or not a keyboard... Do Android forums and Iphone forums have discussions anything remotely similar to that?

And there are multiple android devices with keyboard and iphone is mainly used for just calling and playing games where keyboard is not vital.

selop pretty much killed maemo updates, i dont know how he managed to do this since the support should be AT LEAST 2 years for devices. n900 barely 2 year old in november.
destroyed symbian resurgence, they try fix it with support until 2016.
and now sabotaging n9 sales too.
and yes people with android and iphone do like keyboards too >_>

Two scenarios possible:
1.) Will the N9 be the only Meego phone in the near future? If yes I'll buy one.
2.) Will there be alternatives to the N9 running Meego? Then I'll check those out and not buy from Nokia anymore.
The N9 does have all the disadvantages already stated several times. But yesterday I gave Android on my HD2 a try and was shocked a GPS app asks me for permission to take pictures and videoa on the camera. NO way I would allow that, which denies the chance to install. As Andrdoid without applications seem to be not a smart, but rather a dumbphone, I'll stick to Meego.
Replace Android by iOS or WP7 as required.

you know what, i'm going for android, there is some apps that i just need and will never get to meego, such as whatsapp, zynga poker, all the 3d ea games, ........... yes the n9 still has the best ui, and one of the best hardware, but the nexus s will still have a better os .......
open source is the future, and it looks like google is driving the train ....

Doubtful now. Lack of Flash support even in Fennec, potential lack of distribution in my market (North America is still unconfirmed) and I think the people in our office have decided that Maemo is no longer an viable OS - iOS, Android, WP7 so far are confirmed to be supported by us in the near future.
Intel AppUp is on my personal radar, which might mean x86 MeeGo development in the future.
And due to my total disbelief that Nokia would have gone to WP7 that I have to purchase a Nokia WP7 device. Great... me and my big mouth.
But yes I will buy N9.

Even on many videos with the devphone(N950) people use vkbd cause many apps is portrait.
Android would be the biggest hope, but they're too focused on CPU/RAM and not enough on storage and convergence.
