There is a subtle but important difference between how much it cost, and how much it worth. For N900, in the last months, is costing less but worthing more.
True, the community is adding value to the device over time. But it is still important to hold a candle to Nokia's criminality rather than let the Nokia goons (someone hired to rough someone up) try to convince new users that everything is their fault and Nokia's service is fine. Many of these goons held the same line even when the n900 was a mess.

The stinker is that Nokia's level of support hasn't changed and in fact they have now classed the device as obsolete.

Hmm.. that leaves me with Nokia.. so yeah, ill buy a nokia again... Nokia was nr 1 when 3210 came out, and was nr 1 when N95 came out.. And with the N900 they where still nr. 1... i have no doubt when Nokia comes with the next generation Phone... they will still be nr. 1... Say what you want, no one can show me a phone that has more features (with a little hacking) then the N900, all who dosent see that has bought a phone that is waaay to powerfull for you. And dont bring me that **** with "not enough games!"... only an idiot buys a phone for its games... you buy an N900 to hack.. end of discussion.
hmmmmm
also having a hard time finding viable alternatives for my use cases. still think i will go with the N8 as I love the idea to have a camera which takes quality pictures with me all the time. would love if nokia integrates a native sip client but doubt it

With a comment like that credibility goes off a cliff.

Likewise, it is hard to completely trust the views of people getting free n900's and the like objectively.

Why not. If it is as good as the n900. Though it would be nice if it had a 4" screen and a bigger rootfs. It would need to run Maemo or a similar debian based OS.

If you're referring to me at all, I have some blog articles you can read. Link below.

My objectivity is not in question, free device or otherwise.

Considering that they have just released N900 in India and no publicity at all in India, No TV advertisement, No newspaper ad's....and they are dropping maemo..... God knows what they will do to the next mobile I buy...

The idea with the n900 was to leave it open for the community to hack/develop. And that is also what have happened.. Though Nokia have helped too they could throw in some more candies for us to use. Like open up some closed sourced drivers.

The service from Nokia is as good as anyone elses. Some people try to say different.. but that is the truth.
