Near as I can tell, it doesn't look like the company has ANY inclination to care for the customer, once a sale is completed.. which is, again, fine.. but this is the sort of thing that makes for a lot of regret and loss of loyalty, as I've been chanting repeatedly into the ether.

Look, our time to start discussing Harmattan in more detail comes with the Harmattan alpha release. Think of it: makes sense. In the meantime Nokia representatives are encouraged not to make promises or especulate, which also makes total sense.
Maemo 5 has a roadmap of updates that includes more than bugfixes. It hasn't been disclosed, but the plan exists and is being executed as we speak.
No matter what you think today, I bet by the Harmattan alpha release your thoughts will be different based on the new information we will have shared with you. In the meantime, trust me: the value and usefulness of this thread beyond (say) the post 100 is arguable to say the least.

Threads like this one wouldn't help us defending the increase of openness beyond the scope of open source projects..

Well, by the time Maemo 6 comes out, I can only assume that my N900 will most likely look quite bad compared to the new N950 or whatever it's going to be called. (cpu, gpu, memory, lcd etc etc) So if that's the case, I'll just upgrade to the newer phone. =P
N900 even if it is stuck with Maemo 5 was and still is and most likely will be the best little device you can get for quite some time. As qgil pointed out, it seems Nokia has some nice little surprises planned for us N900 users for some time. To me, that's more than enough of an answer to keep me happy for now. =)

The non-committal answers surrounding something as simple as "Yes, we'll continue to support your N900 with the next Maemo OS, thus making early adopters and their valuable input that much more important to refining step 4 out of 5 and making step 5 of 5 an inevitable success..." would lord... make me buy one right now.
Simply because then I'd know that in 13 months from release, I'd not be left behind like I was with the N810. Past behavior from Nokia made me gun shy. Then the price - sorry, I got hit during this recession finally - so knowing that I'll not be losing an investment.
Maybe being aloof is the new "hype" perhaps.

With ALL of my older Nokia/Philips/SonyEricsson/Samsung/LG phones over the past 15 years or so, I never cared or even expected new OS or new funky features to be added to the phone after about first 12 months. Heck, most phones, I never even updated to a newer firmware etc.
I guess the whole expectation of continous future support is also due to iPhone/Android and WinMo devices which are able to be upgraded to newer OS versions. Also, the fact that N900 is much more computer like than most other "phones". Well, I hope I can upgrade it to Maemo 6, but really, it's already good enough to last me a while till my next new flashy gadget from Nokia or others.

My expectations would be much less if only the next iteration of the hardware was not using the same level of CPU. And given the nature of the prior internet tablets - some went all the way up to 2008HE on the 770 - the changes aren't that major to where the OS cannot be fit onto the machine as it stands.
Sure, there might be true reasons forthcoming why it will not work; but given what we know about the upcoming Maemo 6 device, it should be a no brainer.
As far as phones go, I'd like to get 2 full years out of one. For one that costs $600 USD, I'd expect that and no less. I'm coming up on 2 years with the iPhone3G, had the iPhone for almost 16 months... had a Startac for like 4 years, if not 5.
I don't want new features or a new OS on my phone as much as I'd like to have my new phones that boast more computer like inputs and updates and abilities to also be supported like my computers - for more than 1 year.
Call it a "portable computer", then support it like one. I do not buy a computer each year.
