Yeah, but objectively: more effort should have been put into crafting an actual ecosystem. That would have required a larger investment than was put into the project initially.

Might it not be said that sticking the cellular subsystem into the N900 raised its profile higher than Nokia expected?

I think that what the majority of end users (be you dev or not) are wanting from Nokia is something similar from the MeeGo devs...

This is extremely helpful and generally makes us aware of what is to come.

If Nokia could do this, then, I am sure, we would all be a lot more happier and accepting and understanding of where this journey is going.

This was one of the things I was referring to.

The whole Step X of 4 or Step X of 5 or whatever is a great idea... but you can't all of a sudden at step 3 or 4 just decide you want to completely redo everything.

The N900 actually became Step 1 of 2.. and all of the previous steps were dropped off into a black hole.

It looks that way, but I don't think so. That was fully expected. Now, the N800's sales-- THOSE were a surprise.

Wish I could say more, but I still hold out hope of SOMEday being rehired.

Yah. Development cycles should have been shorter and more furious. Do a crapload of in-house real-use testing on raw prototypes. Eat a lot of tablet-flavored dog food. And put out an industrial variant long before a hobbyist much less consumer-oriented device.

EDIT: oops, pasted wrong quote! fixed.

I imagine when Meego gets here they will be saying "give us a break, this is our first cooperative venture with Intel and you are upset that things don't work perfectly??" In other words, everything anyone does is the first time for that actual action; it isn't really that good of an excuse.

But i'm happy with the N900, it doesn't need an excuse as far as I'm concerned.

@texrat: a numberless graph, perhaps?

Oh, I'm probably wrong. Surely reports and charts were created. I was too far at the end of the chain to see them.

But I do know that N800 demand caught some by surprise. It's apparent polish worked against it... as weird as that is to say.
