Glen Miller said if you want a different sound then get radical or something like that, BRILLIANT musician then he goes and gets killed in a stupid air crash and left us hanging.
I am old school not a young boy (if only) because with youth i would leave Nokia standing because i truly believe in giving good production and backup service.

I sorta highjacked you post.. sorry about that.
I commented on your view of the language... people generally don't have problems with what words which are chosen. In this case they had a purpos though.. OP knows english.
The Op have blamed the community before for doing to little. I do not agree with that. I think the community should continue on the path it has taken.
No, but not bad either.. pretty average.
Windows??? For backing it up do the linux way and use rsync or ssh.
I think there is a program that does this.. SyncEvolution i think it was called.
How do you get your support for your Linux box? ... just, joking.. i was not very serious at the en of my post.

At the moment, yes. Still supported. Nobody denied that. The level of support is a different matter, I guess... Not to mention the future...
Could you back that up with some solid source of information?
As far as I know there is no sign of official continuing support. Might be true, might not be.
Please. Reread what I stated and reread the thread. Search for comments on the opening title...
Which I don't think was the point of this thread.
So, if I understand you correctly you would like to oppose to that statement and claim Nokia actually gives good support?
No. You're wrong. That was not mentioned in this thread but let me bring in some things that annoy me to no end...
Two simple examples...
I think support sucks because:
I am a linux user who bought a linux device and yet needs to download crappy half assed software meant for the Windows platform. When I do eventually download that, the software will tell me my device is not fully supported and does not allow me to do simple tasks as backing up my messages. Again. Would you like to call that decent support? Really?
Another example: Being a linux user, I would like to be able to sync with protocols like OBEX and the like and exchange the calendar on my n900 with the one on my computer (Evolution). Yet, it is not possible.
Same question as above applies here too.
I think there is a program that does this.. SyncEvolution i think it was called.
Yep. The support is bad. Period. That's why this forum is so important. And luckily there is a lot of knowledge here.
You're going badly offtopic here, mate. The OP did not claim that, nor did anyone else in this thread. Of course there are whiners on this forum who will do just that but usually I try to ignore those threads and now you are bringing them in here? Thanks but no thanks...

re future support those saying that the n900 will be supported ny nokia ie PR1.3 are just as guilty of spreading mis information as those who say they will be no more future support. FACT of the matter is anything official nokia says has no value eg see all the OVI store announcements that turned out to be BS. Until Nokia actually DELIVERS NO ONE knows whether there will be future suport or not. Nokia MAY do future updates or they may not. NO ONE knows until they actually release it regardless of what announcements they make.
therein lies the rub - for those who like the phone as IT IS and view additional changes as bonuses this situation is fine.
for those who do not find the n900 satisractory but hope patches will make it better - well for these ppl u are wasting your time as there is not guarantee that your issue will get fixed as community support works on a volunteer basis and projects get put on hold or abandoned as real life intrudes or certain bits of coding are not "cool" or are tedious and so no one will make those changes at all (ie see flash integration into opera)
for these ppl u are better off getting a phone that has an active platform and user base where there are commercial incentives to drive software changes - u are much more likely to be happier with that environment.
and those who post away on this forum arguing that the n900 has a long life and community support that will address all issues and that everything is hunky dory without carefully indicating the boundaries and limitations of community support to newbies who might read such posts - i think u no better ( in fact worse ) then "iTards" who worship mr jobs.
to those who argue that the n900 totally sux and that no one could possibly like this phone - well the same to u too.

AlMehdi i have to comment here as that was a good post too and that yes i have said before and say again that this community can be MUCH better at support but it needs to get its act together and old standing members lay off the argumentative talk because it actually drives people away as you already know with sad losses to this community.

@AlMehdi
Actually, you're right about the community targeted complaints. I ignored that for the better parts of OP's posting.
Syncing with Evolution does NOT work, despite the name SyncEvolution. But I guess it's too much too ask for Nokia to provide a decent simple way to quickly sync my two devices. I opened a thread about this problem and got 0 answers on that. Everybody seems content to use online services, install a webserver to run syncs through a 3d party app. Tried rsync as well, to no avail.

What does Harmattan have to do with N900 support considering that Harmattan ("Maemo6") is now MeeGo and will not be officially supported on N900?
When you are less lazy would you mind posting the links, I know I'm curious.
