Because it's how development works. And to your second question, because we are not all like you, thank God. And different people want different things, human greatness and all that meaningless jazz.

When I bought my N900, I had everything out of the box. Multitasking and all that...Was it not developed as well?
You probably don't get me. My point is it is really meaningless to release a crippled OS and claim "that is how dev work" as if we don't have examples on the market. It's not like M$ has not released a mobile OS before.
I never said all are like me. I just wondered why anyone would want to run a crippled OS on the N900 when there is Meego and Android just a few commands away.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if Nokia decided to test WP7 on their already existing test hardware, the N900, before they start to make new phones. On the other hand, a Qt GUI imitating the Metro interface would be easier to write than port that crappy OS to the N900. Also based on the WP7 system requirements the N900 doesn't have a fast enough CPU (600MHz vs 1GHz), enough memory (256MB vs 512MB), lacks hw buttons (qwerty does not count in this case), and as far as I know WP7 currently runs only on one specific hardware, thus the strict requirements.

now that the ms team is working with nokia's hardware team, "maybe" a custom port with basic functionalities maybe possible for arm architecture.
and as far as I know WP7 currently runs only on one specific hardware, thus the strict requirements.

- One does not need 1GHZ to run an operating system. - Maemo is proof of that, NITDroid is more proof of that.
- The N900 is capable of running 1GHz as so many of us who have overclocked it know.
- There are 5 hardware buttons on the Nokia N900, not to mention the physical keyboard.
- Don't rule out the device that can run almost anything on it.
The question is - do people want WP7 on their Nokia N900? I certainly don't want a buggy OS.

Also, while it had copy, it also had a bad sound system, with shaky dropping audio, non-locking GPS, wifi that was stuck ON locking the CPU, no MMS, bugs is SMS, no USSD, and it crawled. And BT was funny. And no PABC. And no FM support, at all. And no IR support at all. And it has a shaky USB. It was a joke.

What disqualifies N900 is the resistive. The UI is designed for multitouch. Could work, but you never know what could be inaccesible.
N900 dead and Nokia no longer replaces them. Thanks for all the fish.
Keep the forums clean: use "Thanks" button instead of the thank you post.
