Unlike the others I'm not going to thank you for "fixing" that - no way.
Instead I can only point out that I am amazed by your incompetence and hope that you will eventually manege to bring my phone back to the state I paid for by the end of the quarter...

Of course I am mad.
I was lenient for the first few days - but enough is enough!
Without an access to the repos the phone misses a key functionality - and keeping such a state for 2 weeks, like nothing has happened, is completely unacceptable!

It's Nokia's logo on my phone, they took the money from me, and so if the phone does not work, it's the company's fault.

What is being held up is paid-for-by-Nokia-migration so the volunteers are spectators and facilitators only at this stage with those people paid by Nokia responsible ofcourse they have not being helped by less than 100% cooperation from Nokia's side due to the huge changes occurring there too...
Piotr, you are bang out of order. Use the temporary mirros and shout only when you are in full posession of facts. TMO is NOT owned by Nokia so even if you want to shout on Nokia go find another avenue!

That phones at a certain age are not receiving support anymore is nothing uncommon, that there are people trying to fix this, is. So stay patient and grateful or get yourself a newer phone, because this guy brings up the motivation to work day and night to bring you and us this service and people ranting at him and not being grateful at all will make his motivation vanish like snow in the desert and nobody wants that to happen.

If people who are performing migration in their free time wouldn't be so eager to do that, Nokia would just drop all support and you would be left with nothing, no repositories, no software, etc. I think it is clearly stated somewhere in user's manual of N900 that Nokia promised to keep support for this device for 3 years after release date (correct me if I'm wrong), which passed few months ago.

Being upset that the repos have been down is one thing. Being upset that Nokia dumped the community is also acceptable. Attacking those who are volunteering to fix things, on their own time, with donations from the community? That's like attacking fire fighters as they're trying to extinguish your house fire because they're taking too long. Do it enough, and your house will burn.
Were it my call, I'd ban you for being such an äss-hat. Learn some manners. We don't need people ripping down the efforts of others that are working hard to try to keep things afloat. If that's all you have to offer, you're welcome to leave. We'll be much better off without such people.
