No. Nokia does not promise that. It is easy to tell by the fact that there is no quote from a Nokia person that includes the words "Meego will work on N900". What you really have is some writer's interpretation of some weasel words from some Nokia PR guy.

I think it doesn't really matter. Nowadays a phone lives 1 year before it is outdated...maybe 2. In a year from now the telecom provider will make you a deal with a new phone that won't be a N900 but its successor. I will buy the MeeGo phone.
I think...if you can make Qt apps for the N900 then you can for its successor.
Although...there is a slight feeling of betrayal the overall feeling is that this will be interesting times.
If you can make great Qt mobile apps on the N900 you will be king of the hill on MeeGo.
Until MeeGo is out that is what I will trying.
Regards,
Theo

BTW, the OP should change the title of the thread, so that people who "research" before buying will not be bitterly surprised when the supposed promise is not fulfilled.

that builds on the Nokia N900 to begin with.
But it is much more likely to be marketing speech for a product that is built on from the N900
The quote I saw is Nokia doesn't know if they will develop for the N900 but is sure the community will back port it if they do not.
Much as they said for Maemo5 on the N8xx
It might be worth us posting this to as many Nokia PR agents as possible with the question dose that mean we will defiantly get MeeGo on our N900s.
Nokia should still be responsive to customers desires. They do after all wand to sell new phones and keeping there current customers happy is the best way to get more sales in 2 years or so.
A fact they seem to forget with their Warranty department.

Yeah to a developer that sounds like it will be built for the N900

This means an alternative to Nokia.
You can switch from Nokia-made devices to someone else and the software should hopefully be compatible.

Why is everyone being so negative about this? Firstly all the promises of openness are good, because it might mean the community can get it working on the N900 even if nokia don't. Secondly, this will almost certainly delay maemo 6 if there's to be any significant code merge, which will in turn delay the end of support of maemo 5 which is feared around here.
