Look, Maemo is an open platform and works pretty well now. If Nokia would officially kill off Maemo, nothing would change this. Your phone will still work the way it does now. People will still use it, and the community will not go a way in a single day. Relax and enjoy that we will have the option of running Android, Maemo and Meego on our phones.
And hopefully ubuntu and debian in some ways.

Dont panic is the message!
I doubt that. All the work that intel and nokia put into this...do you really think it will be not as good as maemo? come come now.

And there's always MeeGo 1.2 to improve things. We don't just leave when it is october, you know
I was just about to grab some hope and then WHAM! straight in the plumbing

And I wanted to answer to a single person, but so many of you posted the same stuff I can't decide who to quote. So, to everyone who thinks Maemo will be enough, hum on, etc: No it won't.

I want to rename labels on numbers, and by gosh I will if it's the last thing I do. If not by this OS, then by the next. And if that can't the next device with the next OS that can offer me this simple yet critical feature. It matters, contrary to what Nokia thinks if I call a person at home or at work, or if I call him on the company. And I'm not about to have 23 different entries for Jeff the way it worked back in the 12-char SIM-bound days.

I want a phone that doesn't stutter, I want conference.

Some things are critical to me, and considering I could get a small second hand car for what N900 costs (or fill its tank, but not both), I want them.

If MeeGo has them, then no, Maemo will not keep on humming, as it will become obsolete by comparison.

And since they say that most apps will run on MeeGo (with a little modification), when why the heck would anyone stay behind, fighting old bugs, with no end in sight?

I've thought of dual-booting, but I know what will happen. Every time I upgrade my OS, I always dual-boot, just in case something doesn't work. And every time I realize it's simply easier to let go than to reboot to check your messages.

Heck, at the very least, the rootfs problem will go away when I boot and run off my SD. And with SD, I can even upgrade my card speed, upgrade the hardware.

I can't imagine a decent percentage of people wanting to say behind unless MeeGo has some huge, earth-shattering showstopper issue.

I would like to be able to use the n900 with maps to navigate. Not a big deal.

A decent mapping application is essential, as ovi maps just sucks - big time..
The other thing needed is 3rd part dev support. How many times do you see a web site that has mobile apps to download, but only for Apple, Android, WM or Rim - Thats why I hope Meego is a massive success and people start developing for it, then we all gain..

Not "is", but "will be".

"If it means to have a working touch graphical interface that is stable and feature complete, with telephony stack, efficient web browser and base applications the answer is no."

In the country I am in, if somebody asks if something will happen (future tense), and the answer is no, that means it won't happen. The country I am in is England, and this is where I learned English, as I was born and raised here - and we came up with the language. Next week the country I will be in will be New Zealand, and I believe this linguistic feature applies there too.

Mish.
Welcoming to New Zealand bro!
Don't go to christchurch, there have been an earth quake 7.1 on the richter scale yesterday, and a sky diver plane crashed killed 9 people. Stay north if you can

MeeGo or NooGO as long there is a platform for N900 to be able to move on to. More good games and apps are all we want.

Maybe the fact is I cant see what else I'd want from a device...

From my point of view, at least, Maemo seems like a perfectly decent OS and I see no reason to change to something else just because its newer, unless I have a valid real need to do so. Plus it shouldnt be assumed newer software is better...there are many examples out there where it isnt

Come come now...

That is a pretty piss-poor example for you, given that it has already pretty much already shown to be true. PR 1.3 is here, the CSSU is pushing out community supported further releases of Maemo 5, there's at least one community supported MeeGo project underway...

Who should be eating their words?
