Oh come on. Next thing you do is complain we're getting off topic and this thread should be in "community"...
No announcement, but hints dropped like
(emphasis added)
So the answer is yes. 99.9% yes.
Perhaps then the question should be: When will Nokia stop giving/lending out and/or hinting about giving/lending out N900 devices?
That way we can stop acting all nice and everything and get back to acting normaly.
I suppose for some it's like having to wear their church going clothes all the time.

you know what i meant though.... this place used to be fun in the old days. it used to be like a pub... you'd come here in shorts and flip-flops and chat along and what started as a talk about my new gadget soon turned into something completely different. and everybody was cool with that. it even was a bit like these places on the internet... how'd you call it? a forum i think...
now sometimes it feels like a conference with suits and ties and people barking at you because your comment was off topic and had nothing to do with the perfect, colorful slides... i don't think flip flops are popular these days.

I have a proposal: why don't we vote for those who deserve a complimentary or discounted device? There are at least 3 or 4 guys who definitely have to have a n900 asap, for the community to enjoy the fruits of their good work.
At least a percentage of those machines should go where the community elects to.

And yes, please move this thread to the Community forum. I really can't follow everything anymore so if you want a reply from Nokia in talk.maemo.org on community related topics just post your threads there. Simple.

No one's going to yell at you for making a joke or whatever, but having people just attempting to derail topics gets in the way of actual progress/getting stuff done.
There's always the Off-Topic portion of the forum for those times that you want to wear your flip-flops all day long and you won't hear anyone complain or say anything against you for it.

anyway. we're way off topic. i like debernardis' proposal. as an addition to whatever nokia would have planned. you know... there's the regular device program, and then there's 2-3 "community tickets". sounds nice.

I'm no developer, but I used to program scripts with BASIC on my TRS-80 as a 9 year old. Maybe developing was the calling I never answered. A complimentary developer device would sure reignite the fire to get the apps you guys will really benefit from. I'll start by porting Nuendo and Avid for the N900. (yeah, that's the ticket...) SO HURRY WITH MY N900
