N900 without a hw keyboard, here we come...

Man, N900 is a big letdown. It can't get away with it, just because it has 9.4 Flash (which soon other devices will get, and even 10+) & it has little desktop windows & the OS is relatively open. It's like a new born baby with 100 syndromes. What a joke
Stick the neck out of wonderland Alice...
And by the by, flash 10 was ANNOUNCED with a N900 in hands, Mr Big-Let-Down. Go crying to your iPhone and its weird "YouTube App".

I'm enjoying the game of checkers Nokia is playing with US carriers/service providers.
I have always believed that the "game changer" in North American markets will be the definition of the "customer".
In North America the customer has not been the end user but the carriers themselves. Nokia, I believe wants that to change and a Linux device in particular a Maemo device will change that... slowly. Very slowly relative to market share.
I also believe what qole posted but with regard to connectivity, I believe all future Maemo devices will have cell connectivity, but not all will necessarily emphasize a phone.
The next move in North America will be the 3G Notebook and devices like it. Will carriers offer data only plans? If they do, Nokia will have moved a bit closer to what I think is its goal here.
***
What led the initial growth of cell service in the US was Goverment and Enterprise accounts. Many cell phone users are not the real customer either.
Reggie recently pointed to notes from a talk given @ Mobius 2009 that indicated that more developed countries are OK with having multiple devices.
I think the success of Kindle may indicate this as well.
What ever may come, I'm thinkin' these last two points will have some bearing.

Global Perspective on Converged Devices - Mexico 79% wants converged device, only 29% in USA, 25% in Japan.

The N900 is a letdown, as are any devices launched atm.
If they would all team up & make ONE good device, instead of 10 crappy ones, we could step forward instead of acting like kids, competing in this industry. But please do keep living in your delusional life. <3

This would essentally be a validation of said rumor, and at the same time, another means for sites to get their ad revenue on the simple fact of re-reporting unverifiable data
