Being ignorant wont help anyone.The community will never be able to provide the kind of applications and fixes nokia and other companies can,a fact.Ow nice,a FEW things we can fix here or there.Check the buglist,there are nearly 900 bugs,and u are forgetting that the device is not fully open-source so half and maybe more of the bugs arent fixable.Why dont u try fixing the media player?Bang,u cant.Guess why?Its not open-source.And dont sell the "n900 is aimed for a different market" BS,srsly.The n900 is missing almost all of the features it was promised.

I want to hear the promise that the N900 will get MeeGo 4 in 2013, else I officially announce it as obsolete.
Jokes aside, what Nokia is really planning to do, is to introduce the Qt framework to various platforms. Right now we don't really know how well it will work, but until we can say otherwise, the OS version shouldn't matter that much, at least that's how it's supposed to work.
Hopefully they will deliver on this front. If you're fearing that newer apps won't work on an older Qt-based device, don't be, as long as the hardware will be able to handle the software. And since OMAP4/Intel eqvivalent is at least 12 months away, there nothing to fear, unless you want to keep your N900 for 3 years or more since now (obviously most new apps will still work, just not the "ground-breaking" ones).
The lack digital compass is probably the only reason why they haven't bothered yet to port the latest version of Ovi Maps to the N900, and the lack of multi-touch might be as important in the future whether they choose to port "the official MeeGo" or not.
