About the price, lets use logic. Palm Pre was out at about the time and had under its hood more or less the same hardware as the N900.
Same goes for the Droid/Milestone. All those had the same price tag more or less. So no, we didnt get a "beta" discount.
And I'll state again that the Droid is supposed to be getting yet another update soon. Mind you, it's not the next release, but it's still being actively supported with firmware updates, features, patches and fixes--quite frequent and very, very good ones. As you said, it was out nearly at the same time as the N900. I'll state again, as well, that I'm very glad I skipped the N900. I hope MeeGo will be a far better experience, despite my crestfallen experiences with Nokia.

That post to this thread was a terrible, stupid post. I should report it for being pointless and belligerent.

i am well aware thats while it is called "1.1" it is nowhere near "1.0" state.
it is just funny, and a way to show that numbers means nothing.

there is no doubt that the tablet meego edition looks really promising, also there is far less competition at the moment in this area, so i predict meego doing well at the tablets

as someone who had a N800(if i am not mistaken) you probebly knew better what was going around the N900. When i bought mine i honestly thought i would see nokia supporting it with Meego.

If you are suggesting that i should have waited, or buy something else,i really needed a phone and the n900 is providing this need nicely. Seeing this happening, is disturbing as princple. A company betraying its custumers.

I respectfully disagree. Again, I am using it full time now. It has replaced easily 90% of Windows XP work. Looks like a .999 release from my perspective.

it is just funny, and a way to show that numbers means nothing.
In this case I'll agree.

Wait.. what? Far less competition in in what area? Tablets? Surely, you're joking.

So because of some vague quote of N900 being step 4/5 it's ok it had shitloads of bugs when it first came for sale, and that "support" as you call it was pretty much just fixing SOME of those bugs it shouldn't have had in the first place.

Not to mention the lack of the most basic features like proper navigation or that awesome QT app support all the Nokia people talk about, not that I've seen any of that or never will.

It's a quite simple, N900 was and still is a great piece of hardware that had great promise but it never really had a chance to succeed because of lack of support from Nokia. That's pretty much a known fact to anyone else but the most rabid Nokia fanboys...

Seriously, did you sign any "Experiment closure" with Nokia?
No, Noone did. I dont give a **** thats for them its a "step".
errr... so you didn't do your research? n900 was officially named step 4/5 in the speech about its release so anyone could have been informed about it. so I call fud to your silly arguments. case closed.

I strongly disagree. without meego, M5 would have already been EOL:ed by M6....

Let's follow the logic on each:

a) Flash 10.1. If MeeGo didn't exist, don't you think Maemo 5 would have had Flash 10.1? Why would Nokia / Adobe support a dead platform?

b) Ovi Maps 3.x. For the sake of argument, let's say QT is write once, run everywhere. Why would it not then appear on the N900? Because it makes no sense to support a future less platform.



There's a difference between releasing a product that was in beta and customers expecting rough edges versus expecting people to buy into a platform with no future.
what about pasting sources to official statements about flash and ovi maps coming to M5? after that I can agree that you are fully in touch with reality.
