Sad just sad.
N900 my last Nokia.
Another great brand bites the dust. Sorry for all those that will lose their jobs over this.
Nokia is now just another phone maker turning out the same stuff as the others but with a higher cost per phone and will lose even more money and market share.
At least I now have a HTC Desire HD to play with to get used to Android for when the N900 dies on me as all phones do over time.

... Dude you are on a forum filled with FOSS advocates.
Hardly representative of the general population, who wouldnt even know what FOSS IS.
I will not be surprised if some general consumers saw it as a good move as it seems to them Nokia is doing SOMETHING new rather then just mucking along.
Nokia should have built on the neche' smart phone market they had, the n900 is proof of a good concept just poorely executed. Making a phone like the n900 more accesable would have been a better angle of attack as apposed to dropping it mere months after it's release.

Meego is not altogether abandoned.
Dropped 10.39 percent already??? That's one subtle reaction to Elop's decision indeed!

nokia makes great hardware
micro$oft makes great OS
hows that a problem?
plus windows will be used on the top nokia phones, meego on the middle range.. right?
Not even Symbian has ever stooped that low.

All those lessons learned from the N770 through til the modern day N900 because the maemo users lived and developed to push the project along the 5 steps, now being diverted into developing Nokia's new range of Windows handsets. That's cold.

guess ill buy as many n900 as possible so i can have them for next 5-6-7 yrs, cuz it looks like its last of its open source kind -.-

Actually, it is down a 10.78% (09:29:25 CET):

ATM, I don't care if it drops and drops and get delisted. Is Intel going to put resources into Meego?
