all the people who speculated that N900 will be updateable to M6 and bought N900 only that in mind, have probably wasted their money. But the fool and the money are always parted....

Why are you guys jumping to conclusion already? Nokia hasn't officially said that they are leaving the n900 behind and meego isn't out until 2nd half of 2010 or later ... technology becomes outdated within 6 months or so. So for those of you who already sold your n900 have fun waiting for the next meego device which you never know when in time it comes out; while us n900 users still enjoy our n900s while waiting

If maemo5 not promising to be a bit future proof then why not just put MeeGo on N900 and start develop on it instead of being on QT alone and do nothing good to the device but for testing purposes. The OS is the best potential OS out there, it's no wrong about it. But it is lacking of investment and no future proof.
Now a day almost every other competitors offering software upgrade to keep their products on the market for longer and make more moneys with the old technology as well as the new one. And all the device now a day has almost identical hardware inside. I see no point of not making it runs the future OS at least 1 upgrade or 2.
But that just me. I want to see a better future rather seeing the device slowly fade away into the dark and being the Geek Device to everyone else. I don't mind but if MeeGo runs on this device, I bet it would be more user friendly and more people would buy

There is nothing wrong in expecting something better from the device or future of it. It's like buying Windows 7 now and expecting a better updates to SP1 or SP2 or even SP3 for it's life time and support and loads more extra functionality to it.
I'm not like you who bought the device because of it's a Nokia.. I bought it because I love the idea of OpenSource and I am supporting the idea of Open OS and System that allowing a long future of support. Anyway get back to the topic. Don't get side track.

From what I have read:
Nokia cannot say whether Meego will ever be available for the N900 as they would lose the chance to market the first Meego device.
Maemo 6 is still being worked on. Nokia are so far in to its development that they have no choice but to continue developing it and calling it an 'instance' of Meego.
It has also been said that Nokia are looking at putting a version of Maemo6 on the N900 but cannot confirm this until thay have resolved a few issues eg. Multi-touch.
Nokia are actively telling developers to get the N900 and start making apps.
To me, this all points to Nokia supporting the N900. I'm hopeful that the next software update will be the steeping stone.
I may have to wait a couple more weeks for the update but until then I see no point being negative.

So by what you've said above, this meant that N900 will never ever get MeeGo upgrade? right?
What I want to say is: even if you are interested in the N900 alone here and now, developers (specially commercial developers) are interested in volumes and future plans. The perspectives of MeeGo with it's API compatibility across MeeGo devices + Symbian devices is much more interesting than the focus on the N900 alone. Today there is still no MeeGo release, no MeeGo SDK and no reference hardware announced, but you can get the N900 with Qt 4.6 official around the corner and a decent development environment. With your apps developed targetting the N900 you can also start practising the Ovi Store game and etc.
This is something developers understand and (let me insist) this is something useful also for concerned N900 users to understand. Even if it doesn't answer directly your question here and now of whether Nokia will support MeeGo in the N900 or not.

@spoonbuddy,
Yeah I agree with your comment bud. I really hope so too. first couple main things i want to see in the next update is camera functionality, on screen picture zoom, better map and can use offline search and most importantly the bluetooth stack issues.
I have no dice with my bluetooth headset at all. Everytime it use it, I feel like i'm listening to transformer robots talking in my ear. lol.
Oh well, I am just worrying too much about the future of the N900 that is all. I love this device so much that I cannot wait and do nothing and let it lay low and be forgotten. If we all don't say anything then it's obvious that NOKIA will forget and ignore us. We all want full support on what we pay for right?

"go get an N900 and start developing on Qt with it. This is the best and fastest path to target forthcoming MeeGo handsets."
So why would developers or consumers buy the product that will no longer be the stack holding the development? Developing QT apps for the next handsets and N900 won't be a part of the next or Nokia Called it future flagship devices OS MeeGo.
This meant that N900 is no longer Nokia concern? nor priority? This device is only 2months and 18days old from the day it's officially released, which is in End of November or December.
The Maemo future flagship is no longer the case now. So it seems that we all are wasted our moneys investing in this device since the day Nokia announced that MeeGo won't be on N900?
