N900 coulnd't keep up with the small demand for the first 3 months while N97 sold 2 million in 2 months.
Even I asked him many times, he didnt reply. my questions were,
1) I own a Nokia N900 and believe this is one of the best smartphone, but why Nokia didn’t market it well?
2) when can we get free navigation on N900
It was as much of a developers tool as a smartphone before harmattan that was announced 2008 and is the first OS from Nokia that will have gone the full circle that was partly started in early 2008 when Nokia bought Trolltech, Symbian^4 following it in q1 2011.
2) I guess this might come with MeeGo or if all qt based map version finds it's way to N900.

Then you should join in the development team and at least support them.
If you want something then you got to take it sometimes.

Maybe this time it'll be different.
This - when I've just pulled out some seemingly correct math proof that show hope is illogical - is when qgil usually jumps in all disgruntled-like and surprises me with some unexpected MeeGo-on-N900 development announcement. *eager*

Err.. Did someone notice the comment posted to the Network World story.
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/64693
At this point I don't care for any answers. Its already clear for the most part where the N900 is going.
But I'm going to be watching which questions they finally do come up with answers for and which ones get left out because of the "too many to answer" excuse from Nokia

oh boy, being an unix administrator, this Nokia/N900 story reminds me Sun/Oracle stuff...same silence, no news, majority of awesome advanced technology being left to rot, when path to profit and $ income is obvious...
guys, get used to it - noone from this top management dudes wont answer really important questions...just general commercial blah-blah.
but, hey, n900 is still a hacker`s delight; being that way flexible, it could be more or less only-community supported in terms of software...considering that community is really big and active.
