I joined the N900 fray expecting a higher degree of openness than I think we've seen so far.

Sure much of the code/defect tracking is open, but a lot isnt
- lack of transparency in terms of when fixes will ship
- monolithic firmware updates
- No navigation in maps
- no flash update

Now, if the reason is indeed meego then nokia come out and say that and bring the community onboard. From a development perspective I happen to think that could be a very prudent business decision, but you need to keep the community onsite.

In particular it would be awful to find out the N900 then wouldn't get these features under meego - or should it be mee!go! now....

if you wander over to the adobe flash 10.1 forum, its clear from over there that its not adobe who is in control - adobe wants flash everywhere, but they say its in Nokia's hands, and apparently Nokia cant be bothered to pay the extra to get flash to run on Maemo...

we have been had folks, full web experience my ***. As sites switch over the n900 loses access to sites and content.

Never buy a Nokia again and tell all your friends the same. This is the only way you can send a message to Nokia.

You mean Nokia has to pay Adobe extra license fees for 10.1 on N900?

@Frappacino.
..
a. Name a phone with flash 10.
b. Android. Right. It's only a beta test. And if you see the 10.1 beta run on Android you wouldn't want it. It's not good.
c. Sell your woefully in adequate N900 to a deserving person.
d. Buy an iPhone.
e. Go to an iPhone forum and complain endlessly about flash.

That is all.

This is questionable logic. He wants Flash 10.1, something Nokia and Adobe has stated that they were going to deliver, even Adobe showed it last October.

Then the N900 was released, 6 months later Nokia and Intel announces MeeGo. The users wonder if they will get Flash 10.1 on their N900. Not Android. And we all know Steve Jobs will allow Flash on the iPhone the same day he also allows every user root access out of the box.

Simply stated... it ain't ever gonna happen.

And your response to a person that's wondering why Nokia, Adobe, or whomever else in charge of that development of not getting Flash 10.1 on the Nokia N900 is (now get this) "go buy an iPhone".

Seriously. An iPhone. For a person wanting Flash player 10.1.

Epic logic fail.

People need to put some pressure on Nokia. That's why they are complaining here... at a Nokia Maemo forum.

Gerbick and I agree on something... isn't this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

On getting Flash 10.1:

I agree with the idea, but not with the implementation people are using. Not many Nokia employees are monitoring this forum. If you really want to get this done, log it as a bug in the tracker and get massive numbers of people to vote for it. That will get the attention of their engineering staff at least, if nothing else. And if that staff can go to their management and say "this feature request has more votes than any other bug fix or request in our system", I'd bet the winds would shift a bit.

If you want to put some pressure: make a website that tells the story in an interesting way (youtube video of n900 burning may work) - and get a petition page with all of us signing it, then have engadget, gizmodo, BGR, and all other tech blogs to report on the whole phenomenon.

I'm serious.
