Why not? It's true. Hell, my Motorola Droid (original) is still getting Adobe Flash updates EVEN with the current stock firmware--and that came out at about the same time as the N900. My Galaxy Tab is nearing a year soon--still getting updated software. Even the Color Nook gets updated Flash--and that's a freaking eReader tablet produced by a mere BOOKSTORE chain. Would you like me to take screenshots to show you which versions of Flash I'm running on my devices? ...or I can just type them to you if you'd like. What kind of support did Nokia promise along the way with each of these devices? What kind of support did they deliver? From what I saw, they over-promised each time.. and drastically under-delivered. Why are you so afraid of the mere mention of better support elsewhere? It's ponderous how much fear you're displaying--granted, you have to move off of Nokia to get something with better support these days, but you seem overly fearful of the mere mention. Getting back to the original point: I wouldn't buy anything from Nokia based on promised features, software or updates. Buy it ONLY if it delivers what you want at the time it's released because anything afterwards is just lucky bonuses, based on their history.

Some examples:

1. PageStackWindow component not available in Symbian.

2. Label component not available in Symbian

3. InfoBanner component has different methods in Symbian than the Meego-Harmattan equivalent.

4. Sheet component not available in Symbian.

5. Dialog component layout/behaviour is different in Symbian than in Meego-Harmattan.

6. MultiSelectionDialog component not available in Symbian.

7. ListItem component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

8. ListItemText component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

9. ToolIcon component not available in Symbian.

10. Available icons for ToolButton/ToolIcon differ between the two platforms.

11. TabBar component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

12. SelectionListItem component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

Personally I dont give a **** if the reest of the world goes Android.. I just want "open as possible" alternatives to Android. Just make me wonder whoom is most affraid?

But if everyone thinks like you and over and over talks about how Android is "sooo good" it ends same way as with Microsoft in the 90:s means there will be no alternatives.

Personally I prefer what I want not what the masses says I shall use.

The reason I disagree with you point is the facts that you and others over and over again says Nokia N9 will not be supported blablabla and I disagree on this for several reasons.

I dont want to repeat it again just read my old posts and stop this bullish about fear.

We all disagree with Nokia but give atleast N9 a chance as an open alternative to android! I dont mind discuss drawbacks with N9 but spreading FUD and bullish statements about dead device when NO ONE actually can be sure, its just pointless. We all know that Nokia sucks. But should we blame engineers working with a possible great device like N9 for this!? People who actually WANT to be as open as possible, even if the bosses inside Nokia is disagree and stupid asholes?

No, I prefer to NOT help MrFlop to kill N9.

But its seems more like your android is fearing this and thats why I is seen as a naive "fanboy" which is totally baseless ********.

So my point is I like Qt(Quick) I like Debian based dist like Meego Harmattan and I am sure the geeks can make N9 as an cool alternative to the open Android community even if we will be fewer people.
