I am more hopeful with MeeGo though that we will get a community port of MeeGo that might actually function.

the N95 had recently another bug-fixing update. almost 3 years after release date. No new features, no new OS but it's overall faster and with better battery life they say (haven't tried that yet)
stop whining about short support. Anyway that's why we got a smartphone, all the missing sw features will come as 3rd party apps eventually. I agree that we are somehow being used as freelance nokia quality controllers but stopping filing bugs is no good neither to us nor to the future of the niche kind of device we love having. That kind of response will surely lead to iphonization.

I totally agree the price is worth it for the N900. The only only thing I object to is spending time finding/filing bugs for Maemo if there is no guarantee they will ever get fixed on this device.

You should all take a look at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=45213 to calm your fears a bit. I think you're going a bit overboard and missing the big picture.

Likewise I predict a whole lot of initial problems since Meego will be running on so many variants of hardware. But eventually being able to run the same app across different architectures would be wonderful.
The whole Meego thing has been interesting. From one point of view, it gives Maemo and Moblin legs to stand on, as Android increasingly becomes a competitor (one of the many reasons of its success is the many angles of attack Android has). Don't like the Droid? Fine get the Nexus One. Don't like that? Ok get another device, but they all run Android. Meego, has the potential to do the same thing.
On the other hand it adds a slew of problems that now have to be addressed lest each Meego distro runs apps designed only for that system. QT cross-compatibility is the proposed solution for that problem. So while it won't solve everything, it provides a path.
Otherwise everything will be run through a java bytecode interpreter. =P
