Fix it for another 6 months and by the time they start figuring out how to properly marry it with a capable phone a year and half will have rolled by. At that point, you will want another new gadget. It's a never ending quest for the best if you can afford it.

The phone does most of the good stuff we generally are looking for and it's an enthusiasts device. If that is true, you would have found the apps and made this work for you.

I am more seriously worried about the hardware issues (usb port) holding out for a reasonable time. If you just want a phone that works extremely well out of the box, you need an iphone/blackberry or a nexus. Do not waste your money on N900.

Stop speculation and spreading rumors. Enjoy and have fun with what you have right now. If you can return your device, pick up the phone RIGHT NOW and do not whine.
I agree with the above. I bought this device because it is the nearest realization of a computer in my pocket that makes calls (in the end, whomever is able to put windows 7/whatever in a device this size wins).

I expected upon purchase that this device would be replaced in a year by the next computer-in-my-pocket device, and I expected it would run Maemo.

At this point, about a month in, I am so in love with this device and its current capabilities, I'm almost leary of change (look at Windows Phone Series 7, which while refined seems very restrictive, Apple lke). I can easily see a MeeGo future that while newer, is also much more restrictive.

Personally, I haven't gotten this much enjoyment out of a device since the N95-1. I feel it is pretty damned iconic, as is.

Onwards and upwards with MeeGo and all, but there'll have to be a real leap (not evolution) for me to ditch this clean, sturdy little beast, with its clean minimalist-yet-customizable OS.

Fake edit: The USB issues being so widely reported scare the **** out of me.

Cheers,
Phono
