and to all, not only danramos:

Btw. there is STILL a few Nokia employers and payed thirdpartys working on N900 CE. Infacts Meego (or Maemo6) WAS what the community WANTED.

There was two alternatives as I see it:

Abandon support for Maemo5 going forward and try backport Maemo6 as much as possible to N900.

They took the later. And now people complains about that decision? Yes I know this is not "offivcially supported" but still it IS payed devs. Even if theyr few but theyr were probadly few BEFORE MrFlop came to town. I am sure Jaaksi knows this better than anyone here...

But for those still not so pissed and actually intrested to help with N900 CE.

Just try out the latest images from:

http://repository.maemo.org

instead of using stupid dtime on WTMO...

Hopefully the devs has a Meego 1.3 testimage ready this week with Qt4.8 and QtComponents UI from Harmattan without ugly backport hacks for old Qt.

Summary: The community decides if we want N900 to still get some kind of support and also this shows (Maego) ALSO is a opensource project like so many Android geeks saying.

We can whine as we want att WTMO but what the ****ing point at the end!?

Oh yes I know I should also shut up. I am just a "meego fanboy"

Does that mean that you have smuggle it in some body orifice? Explains your earlier "crap" statement.
First of I was joking about "crap". I would mind by droid when it was released but funny is it was not released in my country. N900 was and I still prefer it over android even if its not "Maemo5 supported" personally I dont give a **** about Flash. So if thats so important Droid was better for them.

That's a good lad.

Harsh. Come on Dan, what opinions? This thread serves no purpose. Besides, it's not like he's lying.

I knew you were joking, I had to tie in crap + smuggling somehow!

I still love Flash, so I'm guilty there.

There is a new kid on the block, and it is called the N9. What is happening to MeeGo running on two year old HW becomes increasingly irrelevant, soon completely irrelevant, a curiosity at most. That's the cold hard truth. Some of us actually need our phones to make calls and so on, and the CE is hardly an upgrade/bugfix for Maemo 5. I wonder how many here still use their N900 as their everyday phone.

I still use my N900 as my main device, and I have access to a Meego-Harmattan device (I'm listening to some MF DOOM on it right now ). I don't make phone calls on it, though. I'll be the first to say that it sucks as a phone. I keep a sim card in my N8 for 'phone stuff'.

EDIT: I'm listening to The Rolling Stones now.
