this is a dev/geek/DIY device no doubt about it - if there is ANY support it will be from community - we know how reliable "fixed in hartleman" Nokia support is.... right ? not to mention even now Nokia hasnt released the closed blobs for the n900...

for the regular consumer... either you are incredibly ignorant about competitor products or you are having a laugh at our expense ....

but hey - SOMEONE is gotta do the "pump" before the dump happens right ?

Are you kidding me?
I tell you that there will be updates for this device every six month as long as MeeGo exists and you call MeeGo a deadend OS for Nokia?
Are we here in a regular consumer forum? Last time I checked it was still a dev/early adopter/geek forum.

edit: just to be clear: MeeGo is part of "future disruptions". Future disruptions means for Nokia developing potentially ground breaking, world changing devices and test them in real world environments in a smaller scale.

-adds integrated geiger-counter
-adds a cigarette lighter and a compass
-makes it shock and water-resistant
-adds a megaphone function

Improves the general HW specs a little so that Maemo 5 finally flies.

I am willing to pay 1500 USD or todays equivalent in silver coins

Obviously after running at 900MHz going back to 600 really makes a difference, especially with opening apps.

Oh i'd also like the N9/50 to have an app manager that doesn't absolutely suck

You know thats suprisingly true! I would expect the N900 to be stupidlly slow now that its 18months old - but no.

Its very quick!

Difficult to tell what OS it's running but my gut says not Symbian. Let's see what a tease though.

I hope that is not the battery for the final product, 1200 Mah is not enaugh by a long shot for any 600+ Mhz phone. The thinness can limit the battery size, but other dimentions matter more. Look at the Atrix or SGSll. In fact, the wider/longer body mainly because of the bigger screen gives you more opportunity to fit in a bigger battery.

And it is def not running Symbian! My guess, Harmattan with S-Anna icons (updatable to MeeGo 1.2 when ready)

Update every 6 months? Source?
I thought in approx. a year meego support will stop.

or announcing in a couple of months WP7 is the way forward and there will be no further investment in meego?

I agree but I might still get the N9 just because of the aluminium-unibody-tilt-qwerty (my favourite form factor).

If there is an Android device with that form-factor, I'd probably (barely) choose the Android based one, since MeeGo still has a long way to go, and has no 3rd party support.
