At the moment I would say the admin of meemo.org can be accused of "passing off" and also using the meemo.org website solely as a means to make money through Google ad impressions from those who come to the site by accident.

Not sure if Nokia/Intel/LF can make the case that MeeGo is entitled to the corresponding .org domain but since the .org admin has now highlighted the association with MeeGo for no other reason than personal enrichment I suspect they may have a case to take the domain since it isn't being used for any other valid purpose. There isn't even a link that redirects the user to meego.com.

However, IMHO it's all too late and we don't need yet another unnecessary change...

@ lma

Oh I got a bit lazy on that one haha !

SOFTWARE VERSION: Mandor 1.1

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: Read too much on Talk Maemo.org past midnight.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: "Reading skill" should not be affected.

ACTUAL OUTCOME: "Reading skill" is affected.

REPRODUCIBILITY: Sometimes

Hai letto la pagina wiki ?

Agree, just that the first question that popped into my mind when I saw the news about Meego was why ".COM" instead of ".ORG" since it is an open source project... Now we know it is not just COMercial issue...

Wow, that SkyEagle post is a classic example of "that" kind of post!

You would think that people would research a product before buying it, no?

It is like someone buying an exotic sportscar and then complaining that, for so much money, there should be more cargo space. "How can Ferrari claim that this is a top-of the line vehicle when there's barely room for me and my wife? Where do I put the three kids and the camping gear?!"

Included in the wiki page.

Did you know that since its launch date on November 22, 2009, Maemo 5 has seen ~500 of its bugs squashed ?

Yup. And just like a Ferrari, it spends a lot of time "in the shop".

Any lack of research may be in the understanding of the context of this thread and perhaps some of its past posts. Qgil has made it clear that he can not speak for Nokia with regard to marketing. I appreciate his participation on these boards as an "open source advocate", a productive member of our community, and a Maemo/MeeGo development spokesperson... nothing more.

Hi qole ! Thanks for the nice ironic post

But I just let you note that I made some research before buying N900..I saw carefully the spec, some review, some post from the first users ect ect.

I knew what I was buying...in fact I'm not complaining about lack of portrait mode, missing MMS functions etc.

I'm complaining about faulty and not correct advertising (like, for istance, the one related to Mail for Exchange support which was implemented for Exchange 2003 only with PR 1.1 many months later and still not complete in functions and not comparable to the symbian version) or some sync features of the Calendar that don't work in the case of recurring events.
Just to let you see some examples:
http://maemo.nokia.com/features/email/
http://maemo.nokia.com/features/calendar/

The only mistake that I have done is to trust too much in some user comments (which were enthusiatic in the first weeks) and in Nokia capacity to deliver what he had promised explicity or let you believe in the Ads.
I would also expected that they have fixed the main problems in a more speedy way than they're doing.
All these delays have make many users unhappy (at least in Italy many of the initial buyers have already sold the device because of this) and damaged their confidence in Nokia.

I'm still hope to see a really improvment in PR 1.2 (not only QT and some bux fixes) and I'm still keeping my N900 (also because I invested many Euro in it!) but I'm not really happy about this situation .

I had many Nokia phones in the past and would like to stay with N900 for quite a long time...if it is possible !

SkyEagle

SkyEagle, I agree with you in principle, but this is still important with regards to these products: they are N series, not E series.

Indeed.

SkyEagle, you see I was also considering the E72 beside the N900. The E72 is a kick (unmentionable part) business class phone with everything you seem to be looking for. I would suggest you take a look at it.
