I had a revelation this days! I wil give my N900 to my wife and I will buy a Galaxy S just for me! This way I will not counting the days until this N900 will recive a new firmware or new great applications, maybe games... In the mean time I will surf trought all the aplications and games for android in a 4 inch device, in a bright super amoled screen, without ovecloking the procesor at 1Ghz... I'm sure I will not finish testing all the good stuff until something noticeable will happen in here! I also bet that Galaxy S will have Flash 10 until the end of this month!... So keep me in touch!
Second of all, nice trolling. That extra centimeter of screen estate is going to blow your mind, combined with an ultra mega bright screen - unlike the N900 I keep at 40%. Oh how I wish I could have that kind of light so I can dim it to 20% instead.
Third of all, how you managed such grammar, spelling, punctuation and clarity of thought with a location set in a country that requires two fluent foreign languages for a job mixing concrete is beyond me.

I'd wait for the 36xx chips (or just a litho shrink in general) before going for higher clocks anyway, simply due to the gain in power efficiency and, thus, thermal efficiencies.

My thought EXACTLY!
They gave us a phone which we decide what and when to install stuff from, why can't they give us the same choice when it comes to firmware updates?
They can add a nice disclaimer with big red words on it when you try to install an update from the 'devel repo' as far as I care - but GIVE ME THE OPTION TO CHOOSE! I'm a grown up ffs (even though my wife would probably claim otherwise sometimes)...
They call it the "Cooker" which is the bleeding edge
rolling update development repository.
Mandriva has community testing open for their pre-release
candidates and that is where they get a lot of feedback
before "betting the business" on a release.
It works well if you actually want to build a community around
your product.
Community can make a lot noise about software flaws
and complain vigorously about development direction,
but in itself a community is also supportive and forgiving.
Nokia does not want such a community, obviously.
Their business + their product + their model = their decision.
That such a system does not exist shows a business model
exclusively geared toward Joe-thick-as-a-brick-Sixpack market.
In that business model there is, however, no room for mistake.
Which, in my opinion, is a blunder in this new century.

Hm, what if they released it as betas?
MeeGo has a good strategy. You want the latest, most open source-y, might shatter into a million pieces stuff? Run the daily builds. You like the openness, but also like your phone to ring, not dump core, when someone calls? Run the every-six-months releases. You want a fancier UI, proprietary applications, and a toll free support line to call with problems? Stick with whatever your handset manufacturer provides.
People can stray from the sanctioned, manufacturer-provided MeeGo, and manufacturer support lines can follow the lead of PC companies: "Run the restoration software we provide to wipe your machine back to a known state, then we'll talk about any remaining problems." All the neat stuff in the MeeGo repos is from the Linux Foundation, not the MeeGo handset manufacturer, so it's easier for the manufacturer to disavow knowledge and resposibility for it than it is with betas bearing the company name.

One of the Maemo Technical Speakers at Nokia World who was demonstrating how to package QT apps stated that new QT 4.7 would be included in the Next Firmware update to the N900 which would be coming very soon.
I was going to talk with him after, but I fell asleep during his presentation and forgot
