I love the N900. If Meego comes, I'll install it and see how it goes. If it doesn't then it doesn't. I know it is not on the cards as far as the official announcements go - I do understand this fact.
I am however NOT happy with the support Nokia has provided. This is a great base hardware, with a very capable OS. Updates and fixes could have been provided on a weekly basis, addressing problems and issues in a steady and reasonable manner. Instead Nokia have left issues like pop email not auto-checking broken for months since the PR1.2 update. It is now fixed, thankfully... but that's the kind of service Nokia are giving and so it's no wonder people are angry and frustrated at them!!

What is wrong with all those talking about promises and keep nagging that nothing was promised nothing was promised!!!!
did nokia promise that any Maps application updates will have the turn by turn navigation free of charge?!!and yet it is there for alot of handsets
and for N900 i am a realistic person as long as any other company could provide such software, working on my handset this means that the mother company can do it
and for video calls, for those think they are smart, video calls is something different than google video call and different than skype video call
so i think that it is simple question why there is no video call over 3G in this update? regardless the price of this service i use it
Do i have to expect a promise that i'll be able to know the call duration in next updates?? it is simple requiremnts being posted and if Nokia is taking a real care it would take such ideas into consideration.

No one here can help you. Go yell at Nokia directly. Frankly, I'm getting tired of it.

Don't you have more anti-Nokia, anti-N900, user-attacking posts to go thank?

There's a fairly good chance that the D1 community will backport future OS's, since they're building them from source and customizing the kernels/roms/etc for the Droid. Similarly, the Apple Illuminati (I'm betting that's where all those "i"'s in their products come from) are enjoying similar support and updates from Apple for all theri phones and iPods going back at least three generations at a time. Why shouldn't we expect similar support and flexibility from a Linux tablet like the Nokia N900?
