When i bought my E90 2 and a half year ago bugfixes were promised. Today they are not promised any more - but they also didnt come. The E90 is just old and support time is over... No need to get the same with the N900... N900 is my last try with a Nokia - if i get so "much" support for it by nokia again i have fooled myself again...

But its right - perhaps i should have known better than to hope...
Still hoping that maemo-support will be there by community coders because maemo isnt as closed as symbian.
But when looking back to my E90-time i dont like every single day waiting for update and not even being sure that it will come...

MfE works but it doesn't support the google implementation or old exchange versions. so it is crippled but it still is included

A phone that can only dial some numbers sounds to me like something that requires an immediate fix.

But Nokia did not promise that the N900 can dial numbers starting with 7, so maybe the inability to dial such numbers will be the great feature of the new firmware.

I bet you are kidding.

what are you trying to say? you can't dial to certain phone numbers? are you using some doping?

http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/

applications:
-phone

so a phone application that can be presumed to be able to dial numbers starting with 7. (aka basic functionality of phones from 19xx)

No really, it is. I don't understand the origin of this sense that incremental per-package updates to a Linux system (particularly one using the Debian packaging tools) is in some way hard or not well understood.

People have been doing this as a matter of routine on OSes bigger and more complicated than Maemo, with less well coordinated package maintainers, for a very long time now. Add to that the fact that the levels of similarity between Maemo 5 installs is going to be much higher than it is between that of most desktop distributions, and Maemo updates should be even simpler. If everyone else can manage it, so can Nokia.

It isn't.

The technical issue aren't the only issues involved. There are legal, process and management issues that affect how updates are built and delivered and making changes to these processes isn't a simple nor easy thing to do.

(a) in order to say that someone's statement that they "expected" something to be done at a certain date is false, you have to prove that they did NOT EXPECT IT.

(b) do you really want them to put out the update now regardless of whether it is ready? I personally don't want a fix that is known to be defective. Maybe you angry people don't care what happens to your expensive tablets, you just want the fix out when you expected it?
