True... my problem is google spends as much effort into keeping you out of your device as Nokia seems not to spend updating their old ones..

It doesn't really matter what company you go with.. you're being screwed in some way or another. Which may be the reason I still wind up with an N900... lack of upgrade path or not - it's still better than Android... *shrug*. It just makes me vomit a little every time I pay a company that blatantly pisses me off... it happened when google Cease and Desisted Cyanogen, and it'll happen when/if I pay Nokia.

That's just the nature of the beast in the consumer world though..

The decision of making Harmattan available on the N900 can be either come from a business or engineering point of view.

From a business point of view, it could happen that a decision comes from higher up saying "Make Maemo 6 available on the N900 no matter what", in which case engineers will make it happen.

From an engineering point of view, Maemo 6 could be developed until it reaches a point where it can be seen if it is feasible to make it available on the N900... and let business guys pick the broken dishes if not (angry customers, trade-in option, etc).

Can I take you up on that? All I need is the phone # of the N900 product manager.

Official Nokia support via their 1-800 numbers does not bring me anywhere.

Or are there other effective avenues I am not aware of. Letter to the CEO?

Well, the only advice that I can give to you if you're not happy with the N900 and don't want to collaborate in the community, is return it, ask for a refund. As already said here this is not Nokia care, and I think no one is here for obligation.
Extreme measures would only damage the community, nothing more than that.

could some one out there porting MAEMO6 to NOKIA N900 please? if NOKIA won't do it then we are the community will do it.

Opensource OS can be use on most machine. i don't see the impossibility in this though. someone out there will hack MAEMO6 to work on N900. that is my hope!

Absolutely! We can clearly see how well 'FIXED IN FREMANTLE' worked out and how back-porting that is a smashing success, what with all the openness and availability of Nokia to its customers and all! So stop all your whining and just do it yourselves. heh

Hopefully, that's the cheaper one without the damned cell phone, with a bigger screen, etc,etc, right? Where did you get the N920 from? heh

What I am grateful for is that the software is open source (one of the reasons I bought the phone).

This means if the community really wanted to we could fork our own version of maemo and maybe make our own compatible version.

That's one of the benefits of open source - a company can't hold you to ransom and force you to upgrade. At least you have the freedom to modify the software.

Nokia have done some great things with open source specifically LGPLing the QT library.

If maemo 6 in not officially ported to the n900 then maybe the community can try. The problem for developers is if Nokia make maemo 6 incompatible with maemo 5 then developers will yet again have to port their software over.

HAHA! I agree.. and I even like DCFC!

My N900 is great. I love it. And be it M5 or M6 - the PRESENT product will surely continue to work and click for me for the next 2 years. What comes then, only the stars will know (if at all...)!

The only thing I dislike: NOKIA's PR and CONSUMER MARKETING & SUPPORT. It's like: hello, you're the #1 mobile phone producer in the world, and you can't roll-out the N900 correctly and in a way that makes sense? The german Nokia MAC Multimedia Transfer webpage STILL doesn't even know, that the N900 exists!

Depending on how well Nokia can catch up with my expectations as an early adopter/believer and hopefully valued customer during these next 2 years, I will continue to support the brand or jump the ship asap.

Mind you, I come from a SonyEricsson P990i! So, in comparison with Sony, Nokia is still better
