The hardware surely isn't dead tech since it's capable of having multiple OS' on it..? Nitdroid, Debian, Meego.

It was publicized, hyped, anticipated, Nokia put it in general release, & then stated that it was the end of the line for the phone's OS.
At Maemo Summit 2009, prior to the release of the N900, Nokia even announced that Maemo 6's UI would assume the presence of a multitouch, capacitive screen. So, we knew Maemo 6 would bring major changes, and we knew we had received only murky, at best mixed, signals as to whether Maemo 6 might ever run on the N900. The surprise that followed the release of the N900 was that the marketing folks had decided to relabel "Maemo 6" as "MeeGo 1.0N".
What's in a name? Even Nokia's own (non-marketing) employees have an amusing tendency to still call Harmattan "Maemo 6".

most consumers expect a phone that "just works"
n900 is NOT a phone that "just works"
hell the n900 is not a super hit amongst techies in my experience (i work in IT as a BA and I am the only one with a n900, all the architects, coders and testers have andriod and iphones)

They're just wasting students's time on something from strange foreign country that not works. I must write to Arnold Schwarzenegger to do something about it, or I'll not watch any of his movie ever again.

Oh great, now you need to take a uni class to get qualified to handle an n900.

N97 is the Nokia phone from 2009 that failed in the consumer market. N900 sold better than expected. Even some consumers bought it.
