Yeah, here's the response:
Marcin: Though you might be correct I prefer to close bug reports as WONTFIX
after getting a Nokia WONTFIX statement (if that will ever happen is a
different question). Hence restoring state. It's up to management (and maybe
involved developers) to decide about WONTFIXes.
I love the "Though you might be correct" prologue. That's a beautiful way to frame a conversation where you're exerting some power over a community tired of waiting months upon months for even minor fixes. I mean, as a customer, what kind of expectations should I have of Nokia about a platform that isn't entirely open-source where I depend on them to provide fixes in firmware images? Apple and Google, by comparison, tend to reach out to developers to point out that they're available to assist with these major value-add applications and help them make sure their apps work better right away.

Has Nokia been replaced by an incredibly far slower bureaucratic version of itself? I mean, it used to be bad enough before, but the phrase "it's up to management" shouldn't belong in an open-source bugfix report about something that isn't working but is intended to work.

I can post it too but I can't close a bug. At least I have no authority.

PS. Thank you for reopening it.

Nobody likes it whenever we point it out, but I would argue that my opinion is it's already finished. We've been saying it for a few months now: Maemo's dead, man.

Understandably, nobody that invested in the device (especially back when it was $650) wants to hear that but the signs were already sprinkled around in little things Nokia said and in their actions. The clearly desperate action of trying to turn Maemo into yet another iPhone competing "me too!" device instead of growing it into a proper Internet Tablet in the very market segment it had carved out for itself was, in my opinion, an epic blunder. Now everyone is suddenly jumping onboard the tablet bandwagon right after Nokia abandoned it. Dolts!

Continuing the practices that the previous Internet Tablet owners had been mistreated to, such as Nokia's lack of communication, support and unwillingness to fix bugs or at least open up THEIR OWN SOURCE CODE to the community to let them support themselves, is another series of epic blunders. It's incredible that the company errs on the side of keeping source code CLOSED on an open-source platform so that only Nokia can fix most of the problems. Why? Is Nokia's source code just that horribly embarrassing that they would prefer not to let it see the light of day? Why err on the side of closed? Bumbling idiots.

There's no bragging points if you're suddenly shifting your strategy to a "me too!" platform if you're going to just do what your competition has been doing, and no better.

Care to elaborate with some specific details and post something less ambiguous? I can't even tell who you're calling the idiots and trolls, for crying out loud, and you don't clearly make any kind of case for why they're idiots. ...or perhaps, you're cleverly disguising your own trolling by pointing outside of your tent to call everyone else a troll? Come on! Participate in an intelligent conversation, if you're going to criticize people on intelligence.

The way Nokia treated this device is criminal in spirit if not in law. I got this device to 2 reasons, bash and gnutools, and I certainly cannot give nokia credit for that.

Well, Nokia needs to make money and discontinue N900 is a way for better sales for the future MeeGo device... My opinion is that the new Nokia's CEO probably considers OpenSource bad for business. Even Symbian returns to closed development model.

Your previous posts suggests you were happy when PR1.3 arrived, assuming there is no further support for meamo there goes any chance of PR1.4, or the faint hope of Flash 10.1
