Now it seems nothing will come out of Nokia on the future of the N900 for either Maemo or Meego so now it really is looking like it is down to this community to upgrade it's os, and without the full drivers from Nokia! what a daunting task.

We have the N900 as a reference device for MeeGo, hence images has to work and pass QA. That implies a high standard and a commitment to keep things working.
We have a very minimal set of binaries so it should be possible to maintain them.

Well if this actually IS happening i think it is fair to say that everyone on this community as an owner of an N900 need to be told from Nokia direct is some way to give reassurance but the fingers all point to minimal support now from Nokia.
Please in future give a full link to anything from Nokia so users can follow.

The answer is nobody. Alot of people are getting fed up with the way this community has been invaded and dragged down to the pits.
What people are expecting is the same Meego that the next Nokia device will get (whatever the heck it is, I'm not interested in it since I'm tired of Nokia's support). Which will have Ovi integration. Which isn't going happen or is going be much harder. Nokia has pretty much taken a silent stance on that.

Meego incidently is capable of driving any device but it does require personalisation for this device as it will do as mobile technology progresses for all future meego devices.
The problem is Nokia dont seem to want to give the N900 Meego and that IS a big problem for us considering some of the drivers are not open source.

Wouldn't it make any itty bitty sense to wander over to meego.com on the odd occasion to see what is happening?
Isn't that rather a little more constructive and educational or do you prefer your indignant ignorance?

N900 is a great tool. I have a Blackberry and apart from quicker mail response (the N900 is quite slow) it really has a much deeper interface and useability.
Meego could help in creating a faster UI and much better mail integration and the new BB Torch has a 5mp camera, which this had a year ago.
Its still current and active, Nokia is slow and nowhere near as bad as Vodafone who have locked out upgrades etc.
I'm not a Nokia fan at all but the N900 has a lot going for it.
