this is sad. now it will not even sold to anyone else, anymore, no more developers, no more consumers, just "a phone forgotten in the past."
"N900 is now discontinued after 9 months from release."
yup. that's it.
The N900 is a fast browser and a good operating system which promised a lot, but unfortunately even Nokia does not seem to be able to follow on the promise to release MMS or voice navigation. Also there are not many software developers who have jumped on the Maemo wagon, so I had the feeling I have been abandoned. Look how many are on sale on eBay. Also I have not heard of any future Nokia maemo models in the pipeline.

Maemo is being supplanted by Meego. A device (?N9?) is expected...sooner I hope....
later this year running a Maemo 6 / Meego transition OS, with full on Meego devices later yet....

Here is a quote from the email: "As of now, we are still working on this MMS capability and voice navigation. We greatly appreciate your patience regarding this concern."

The whole MMS as a deal breaker wasn't really a good enough reason - I will argue that the level of integration of fMMS was a tad bit "tacked on", but it was fully functional.
But let's look at real things that Nokia promised... not much at all really.
