Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with damnshock. If no one complains, and everyone just "goes outside," Nokia continues to **** on us relentlessly. It's pretty clear at this point that they're not exactly timely or prepared - they're behind the competition as far as apps are concerned, and now they can't keep up with their own announcements or release dates. Although it could've happened to any company, their lack of communication is off-putting.

As for me, I love this phone to death, flaws and all. Would be nice to have some new games/apps on it, but it's not that important.

I still love my N900. However, the fact that it does not appear to have the support of big companies like EA games, as well as n8 is already showing to have, makes me worried about the future. Quite frankly, what good is this update of Ovi Store if it is to have a bunch of new applications? Even if we have the Meego running on N900, if it is not officially supported, so why the games / applications would be supported? Grrr .... I love and hate Nokia.

I am regretting buying the n900 for this reason, I fear it has no future. iphone and Android are the future and are getting all of the support. Too bad, unless Nokia starts supporting Android it is not going to survive in the next few years... as they don't seem to have competent people working behind the scenes.....

I do love the n900 for what it is, I think maemo developers did a really good job on it.

But I really hate Nokia for pulling the plug on it.. I don't think I'm getting a Nokia phone again, unless they make something completely mind blowing and start being more clear about their intentions about products with us customers.

What are you on about? Have you heard about MeeGo.. and the new Symbian(s)??? Those are getting lots of support from MANY big companies now.. Look at N8 for example.. and look at MeeGo's list of partners.. Nokia doesn't need to run any other OSes like Android.. you do understand that Symbian sells a lot more than Android + Apple Os combined right? And I have a feeing MeeGo will be huge too.. We are mad because Maemo doesn't have a future like those other Nokia OSes...

Again Nokia has made things unecessarily difficult for them.

Why say that the Ovi store is coming on thursday? They could've said that "it is coming in the indefinite future" and everyone replying to this thread would've known, that this is one of those things. We'll just have to sit and wait. Nokia screwed even a simple thing like this up by giving a deadline that they couldn't make.

Oh well, to me all appstores are 99% bollocks. Its the core functions in a phone that make my day.
