nobody said about full opening. but when I compare all of them (Apple/WM/Androing/Maemo), Android seems to be the best.

2. Maemo is not 100% seriously treated
If you seriously expect Nokia to give advance information about features like MMS support, just look what happened when they announced they'd ship in October and we're now 10 days into a delay.
Personally, I'd just keep quiet and release MMS support when it's done.

So by your definition, closed source, proprietary software is open, and open software is not if the jobs that come with it are in Finland. Is that it now? Can we move on to another "N900 will ship on Nov 12th"-thread?

One more example - Currently you can prepare with Android application sending SMS, with Maemo 5 I have problems with finding API. And please don't say, that this is because Maemo 5 is not feature complete.

yes, there is not real community here like in some other Open Source projects at least in this moment.
It was interesting for me, if "zerojay" made some projects and what was/is their ranking. I wanted to estimate, what is his effort. I didn't say, that community means just programmers.
Compared to the rest of the community: http://maemo.org/profile/list/
And those numbers were after I had about 6 months or more away from the community... but I'm sure you're just going to call karma numbers ******** anyways. I'm one of the most well-known community members here and have helped to push different ideas and projects forward.
So you wanted to question my effort in the community... now it's time for you to tell us what you've done in this community.

Sorry, but I have to react...
"YYYYYEAAAAH!! You tell 'em!" :P
Why does this thread feel more like a schoolyard brawl?

It looks to me that Nokia is just using people as Guinea pigs, and it figures that calling itself Open Source is a way of getting lots of Linux geeks to spend their time.
1. not 10 years ago, but during 10 years
2. Maemo is not 100% seriously treated
You don't have to agree with my opinion.
If Nokia took the N900 seriously, it would also offer tech support from people who could speak English. But that's a different topic.
