And the reason Nokia are not talking to us is very simple.... how does a company like Nokia tell end user... oh sorry we screwed up so we decided not to do any more work on this product and instead we will bring out a better one !.

N900 was 1st one having VPN+ssh+KB after communicator !
It was wrongly advertised, that's all ... and then again, tell me company, whom makes initial annoucement 100% correct today.
I know so many, whom are not able to do that ...
Now, about their marketing... it wasn't really marketed outside of Europe, and even then, it was sparse. And it was marketed as a mobile computer with phone capabilities.

Nokia didn't "screw up". They didn't take advantage of the Maemo situation, they haven't opened up the OS's (past and present) fully... and they've not supported the community that supports them.
The N900 did what they wanted it to do... set a new path for their devices.

My zaurus SL-5500 could tunnel VNC over SSH... never needed VPN back then, but I think there was support for freeswan and ipsec.
Circa 2002, it has full linux distro with nice slide out qwerty keyboard.

AFAIK the reality is the contrary. Nokia is very surprised by the good reception of N900 and sales are exceeding the expectations a lot.

If you are suggesting reading this thread for facts, I guess you are confusing fact with opinion. Facts are usually supported by numbers. Opinions are supported by feelings.
