The open OS/closed platform stuff is definitely more than a bit counterintuitive (and counterproductive to boot, no pun intended). So the argument of "we provide the most code!" definitely sounds silly in reality.

However - does any other phone invite you to hack the crap out of it quite like the n900? I think that gives the "most open" claim at least some credence.

Well in that case, dead does not qualify as hyberbole lol. But I think if something is not drastically outdated, still usable for practical scenarios, and still receives support from the original developer (think Windows XP until more recently) you can't really consider it to be "dead".

With Nokia's oFono, that makes sense.
However, it's not like Android doesn't have Maemo beat in other areas relating to calls.

[QUOTE=qwerty12;719782]Why? Because it's not supporting Nokia?
??... Don't understand this comment. I am saying Nokia sounds silly with that claim considering how much of the platform is closed.

OTOH, let it die Nokia! If Maemo dies, then it can be revived in some dramatic fashion and become undead. Thus becoming the first zombie OS
