He is being proven wrong every day for the past six months, as long as the board is behind him it doesn't matter. What I don't get is why the shareholders haven't ousted the lot of them yet. I mean, losing 25 gigabucks has got to hurt!

Why would any rational person buy products from a company that is basically flipping the bird at them. It's not my responsibility to help prop up a corporation that has indicated it does not value my custom. If Nokia dies, it is not Maemo users that will be responsible. Customer loyalty should be earned, not taken for granted.

Unless they re-jig the warranty for the N9 "gets eyeglass ready for some fine-print reading".
the law doesn't require the replacement to be the exact same model, so yea, they can do that. no need for rejigging anything
the standard replacement for a broken N900 is the N8 currently, and it's perfectly legal. sadly.

Agreed. It has become quite difficult to come to TMO now as this air of frustration, anger has now turned into a little show that is quite sad to see. People are literally begging Nokia to let them buy the device and we are being kicked around. There is so much you can take (and I would say Maemo fans have taken a LOT) before you must just shut the show and go home.

I will be getting my new N900 this week and will look at the wider market in 2012 to see what else is available. Maybe another Meego device? maybe not but i'll have no symptoms of "a few more weeks...please Nokia just release it"

Super grand master plan, or tale of comedy?
http://mynokiablog.com/2011/08/11/no...north-america/

I don't care really....
So long as it works & their LT plans are def. to bring a MeeGo-based OS back to the fore.
Once Nok's much stronger etc.
Everything Elop's done so far, doesn't give me much confidence in that :/
Should we try to reach-out to him, or is that a waste of time?

As someone that's predominantly only used Maemo handheld devices for the past 3 1/2 years, this is just the same sh*t, different day. For those that remember the "4 out of 5" speech, that was the n900 coming out party, and it was mentioned as barely a footnote. If I was going to leave because I gave a sh*t about how Nokia was going to show its enthusiasm about a product, it would have been then.

It's always been about the irrational. I'm an enthusiast, if it's not appealling to my emotions it's dead to me. My n900 came with a 7 day warranty, but that didn't stop me. I want an n9, and I will do my best to get one. I'm confident that there will be a Nokia skeleton crew to give me the minimum software support I require.

And I'll be sure to turn the lights off on the way out.

Good idea! Here are a few suggestions. I'm sure you folks can come up with better ones....

N9:It's finally here: NOT!

N9:It's finally here, or, not really, maybe there..

N9:It's finally here: In a N950 sense...

ELOP TO US: DROP DEAD!

You people need proffesional help. You purchase a device because you like the device, not because you are going to "support" a company. If you like the N9 then get one, if not STFU. Regarding the N9 you have a rare second choice. You can get one if for no other reasons than to actually support open source, actively. You can do that regardless of what Nokia or Microsoft or Elop say or mean or do.

Crybabies!!!
