It was known already at the time the N900 was released that Maemo5 would not continue onto any other devices. The Harmattan project was already known and Nokia made no secret of this.
Man, I sound like an appologist

This is actually Nokia's 'normal' release cycle isn't it?
The NITs had much longer life cycles compared to their normal mass market phones.... and none of their 'normal' phones have upgradeable OS...
.... so... welcome to Normal.

Code:
now official replacement of OS and device coming after 2months of release of the device....
Anyway, so what? If you buy your electronics expecting that nothing newer is going to appear you must be constantly disappointed.

It's strange, I'm living in the now and I'm having the best time. I never sell or get rid of devices, and I see my n900 as being a work horse for many moons to come. This latest announcement could easily help extend the n900's life. My glass is way more than half full.

Why is everyone complaining about not getting an upgrade.
I bought my first computer with Win 3.1 on it and I cost me half a fortune then and let me tell you -- it never got a free upgrade to XP. My car did never get an electronic update - would never expect it.
You bought a peace of equipment based on what it was worth to you then - now be happy about it.
I married my wife 18 years ago and am still happy with her - or better I love her more then when I married her.
So look at your N900 and tell it that you love it for what it is and not what it could be!
If you can't do that, don't blame anyone but your self - because it was you that bought the N900.
Regards Markus

Does it matter that it's the only Maemo 5 device... ever?
i do hope i ll see n900 running meego(or maemo6), although if this happens, n900 will be the first nokia device OS upgradeable..
i have been a nokia customer since 1997, recently i got an iphone and i thought i should go back to my beloved nokia.now official replacement of OS and device coming after 2months of release of the device....
