But out of the two choices you have. To either report bugs or not report bugs, if you choose the report bugs path you at least have some chance to get things fixed before Nokia stops officially supporting the N900 from a bugfixing viewpoint (if they do decide to do that). If you choose not to report bugs, your just going get stuck with a bug-ridden system if you choose not to sell the N900.
I just like to vent every so often at how silly it is to release a device and then refuse to add anything to it because it's already out.

Does everyone think it's just impossible that as they say, they don't know yet whether they'll do it? I'm guessing we're looking at the Harmattan device announcement somewhere in the autumn and it shipping at the end of the year. It's only February now and their priority is probably getting it finished on the new device first, because they've already committed to the H2 release.
If they don't know, of course they'll play safe and at least stress the Qt-compatibility in case they won't do it. And if they do it, no harm done. In any case, I'm quite sure there's no chance of seeing Harmattan on the N900 before the successor is out.

Especially now that Meego is suppose to be cross-platform (across ARM and X86). And being designed to run with a variety of different hardware combinations (e.g. touch screen, no touch screen, keyboard, no keyboard, capacitative, resistive, etc..).

If people truly wanted to make a difference; mass return the devices. I mean, seriously... stopping filing bugs, et al that's fine too; go ahead.
But it will accomplish nothing. Nothing will change until they make up their mind to do something - which, at this rate doesn't seem like they're going to do much, let alone confirm anything.
And I doubt they feel the pressure to do so despite the constant complaints from this very board.
Nokia's lost a future customer in me. That's how I'll go about on my silent rebellion... all while still enjoying my N810.

Nokia being subsidized in the US is close to zero, the N-Series at least, and I'm not in the mood for another situation like my N810 or the N900.
I'm sure they're great devices. But I'd rather know that the next OS announced for a device much like the one I own will actually be an option.

All I want is the N900 to be able to use with Portrait mode all round. This would be nice and must have.
FYI the MicroB portrait mode sux hard. Why? It so slow in rotating and sometimes it just won't rotate back to landscape until you banging the phone a bit.

Frankly for me as long as the N900 gets bug-fixes and an assurance that QT will be kept up to date (again as I mentioned so we can run the latest and greatest QT apps developed on Symbian and Meego platforms in the future) then I'm happy regardless if Meego comes to the N900 or not.
My roots is at 81% and I installed only few apps.
