i'd pay to get clean and full debian on the device.
nokia's policy of crippling debian and thus cutting us off from the broad stream of already existing armel packages is in no way likely to make me consider giving nokia even more money after the bunch i alkready spent on the n900.
otoh, meego should by design be available for the n900 (kernel level drivers are there already and everything above will fit almost any smartphone). to make it run on the n900 would require far less effort than not.
why would one pay money for that?

I would pay some money for the firmware update just as long the firmware is worth my money and get free Ovi-map for life with Turn by Turn Voice navigation and flash 10.1. Also full support!

It would depend on what is in the firmware but I would have no problem with it... It would be similar to a commercial desktop OS. If paying guaranteed new features and support I would have no problem! Mac and Windows (among others) currently employ this so why not extend to the mobile platform.
Apple are already doing this, not with the iphone but with the ipod touch, the last update was a $10 charge to get it for the touch and I am sure they will do the same again with 4.0...
A fiver (pounds) or less than $10 us is nothing for a quality community backed functional OS.

Yes, as long as this update is released on time and it is not just bug fixes!

Nice, no "Ovi Anything" for n900, and as solution, pay for it...
No, sorry. I could pay for MeeGo? Perhaps, as long as a NEW OS is not an update... why not?
But pay for bugfix, features expressly not implemented, free services for others... no, never.
