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

I'd call that bad research
Dont you get it?! EVERY phone is some "step" to somewhere.
each phone manufacturer feast on their prior experience in order to achieve better on the next device. Does it make it okay for HTC to drop support for the Desire to force you to get the Desire Z/Pro?
So why is it okay for Nokia to drop support for the N900 just in the high hopes all of us will get the N9.
I dont know about you, but i use my phone for about 2-3 years. So no way i am replacing my n900 in the next year or so.
Like I said, i bought the phone for its current captabilities and i am HAPPY with it.
If you'd bother reading everything i said you'll come to realize that i am bothered with the principle of not supporting a 1 year old phone while supporting a 3 year old phone.
I am tired of repeating myself, so lets just drop it.
EDIT: Also, Discouraging development for their own OS is just NOT cool.

[QUOTE=Texrat;894257]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. 
Does your comment imply that MeeGo could be a very serious and legible contender rival to PC and Desktop OS? Taking on the linux stable, Windows and Mac OS at some stage?
That sounds pretty much exciting.

Summary for those who missed it follows...
Nokia 5 step process
1. Design and produce an absolutely brilliant piece of equipment.
2. Pre-market it as being fashion-statement merchandise
(focus on trendy disco-hopping fluff-worshiping socialites - actively ignore potential business usages)
3. Wait about 6 months after announcing it to actually ship.
(Be sure to ship to different parts of the world on different months,
even different years if possible)
4. Make sure that development and support is merely an imaginary rumour enterprise
(I read that Oracle is setting the benchmarks in this regard these days)
5. Utterly renounce the product and completely abandon both
hardware and software fundamentals before the line is even completely sold.
...repeat as necessary...
They did not do that with the 9210 but they began
this business model with the 9500 (~9300 for the limp-wrist set)
and completely alienated their business market sector
with the soso e90 and the n97 trainwreck
Anyone care to wager on how long the Meego thing runs
before Nokia steps to the plate and abandons Meego N9
for yet another OS twist ?
They say 'sometime in 2011' so roughly you see this
dreamware showing up on shelves by Christmas next year (maybe)
and by the next summer it will already be replanned around INTEL chipsets
(oops, there went all the driver/code we were using in ARMEL,
shucks - now the widgets and apps are misbehaving,
meaning an excuse to switch to a new OS - yet AGAIN)
The best predictor of near future behaviour is recent past history.

The nature of the differences between Fremantle / Harmattan and Fremantle / MeeGo are such that developers are less welling to invest in Fremantle and would rather wait for MeeGo.

I'm not sure why we're arguing we both acknowledge that this was a release not fully supported with the energy Nokia typically puts behind a full release. You call it beta with no path to gold and I call it early EOSL, not that different really. Do you really think there will be a PR 1.4 with new features?

3. Step 4 and step 5 will have radical hardware differences
4. N810 stopped getting support after an year because it had major HW differences (opengl used with the homescreen etc...)
5. The goal for nokia is to reach step 5 and when that happends, Maemo will be mainstream os
at least for me the conclusion is pretty obivous... and MeeGo didn't probably alter the outcome at all.

Yes, Skype for Symbian3 step 1 of 2 has been released a few days ago.
Where is the video call? Ah, traditionally comes with PR 1.2 , that's right. Good things seem to take time.
Come on, I was just trying to I llustrate that the N8 is so new that it does not even have it's core features (communication) in order.
Let alone that a flood of really nice and useful QT apps would be ready porting back to MaemoN900.
Again, untrue.
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/..._adds_one_.php
Share online is mainly about pictures and video's right? And N8 is deemed a camera phone. Flickr anyone? Take an E71 compare and cry for Nokia selling out to "the there is an app for that" qty above quality...
edit: forgot to mention: posted out of back of car 30km out of Hanoi, while uploading some BlessN900 pics to Flickr all on my own without Nokia supporting my device
