The one thing this thread has taught me... Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites are not really utilized by a lot of folks here.
If this were done via IRC, I think more would have participated.
This shows that either Nokia has missed the mark about who their target audience truly is... or something else. I'm still working on that something else.
Perhaps folks aren't that social after all around here. Something is amiss indeed though.

The press have caught onto his avoidance of n900 issues altogether:

Nokia exec Niklas Savander welcomes your questions on Twitter as long as they are not about the n900

Several people who are clearly fond of their N900 phones expressed their dismay at feeling abandoned. The N900 runs Maemo, an operating system Nokia developed based on Debian Linux. Earlier this year Nokia said it would merge Maemo with Moblin, an open-source operating system that Intel developed.
"You've created the supercool N900. Why are you abandoning it in terms of software support?" a user called kevinp93 asked. "I own a Nokia N900 and believe it is one of the best smartphones, but why didn't Nokia market it well?" another fan, Praveen Chand, asked.
However, Niklas Savander, head of sales and marketing for Nokia and the executive taking the questions, didn't address those or other questions about the N900.

To be honest, imperiallight; I wouldn't have anticipated any answer about that because it would have shown their hand in regards to the future of Maemo versus MeeGo, one is coming out, one is on its way out (figuratively).
And gauging folks around here... I'd bet nobody would be happy with the answer anyway. It's a touchy subject... how do you tell folks - and you might not internally agree with the decision yourself for instance - that a recently released phone in some markets will never get any support past the upcoming PR1.3 update.
If I were him, I wouldn't have addressed that unless I was crazily savvy and a wordsmith in 140 characters or less.

Yeah, I know I think its like opening a can of worms I guess. But someone somewhere should address customers but then again I know it wont happen either.

Please nokia forget about symbian and the N8. Believe in meego. If meego had 50 percent of coverage of what the N8 gets ... nokia would sell by the millions

You can either wow them by making something awesome... or blow it into a long balloon, tie the end, call it a "snake" and be done with it.
That latter one is what skeptics will expect. The amazing one is what the fans will expect. Meanwhile, if you hit closer to the middle - like a nice balloon dog or something, you'll hit more folks that way.
Nokia needs to stretch the balloon, announce they're making a balloon animal... and they have to do something with that balloon.
Thus... hype. And the finished product, I hope it is nice.

Forget about Maemo. This Niklas guy didn't even answer simple question: will future(not even present) Nokia phones support OS upgrades when new releases come. Sym^3 to Sym^4 and so on. This or similar question was asked many times by me and other users. He completely ignored important questions and instead was doing what he is employed to: sales and marketing.
-What phone are you using
-I’m rockin’ a @Nokia N8 prototype and I LOVE IT!
And then at the end he mentioned how he placed bets with somebody that he will have 1500 followers this day on twitter and I gave up. What a waste of my time. And that followers thingy was retweeted the most by participants.

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:09.
Picture this: The ground shakes. You wonder how big the quake is and whether anyone is in any danger. You search for #quake in Twitter. Instant reports from all over the place appear linked to photos of the damage and in-person comments about how it felt. Later, you may read the same reports and see the same photos in the mass media.
Now, what did I have to keep up with to do that? Or to search on #janeausten as I often do?
There is zero keeping up necessary. You can use it as rarely as you want. You don't have to send messages to anyone and you don't have to reply to them either. I guess you must find Wikipedia a real chore to keep up with also. Just think about all the articles you have to read every day just to keep up, and many on subjects that don't interest much of anyone!
All I want is 40 acres, a mule, and Xterm.
