If Mer were a success, I'd not complain. If OS2008HE was a success on the 770 - you had parts of it that didn't work on the 770 (sound, Flash player) - then I'd not complain.

The fact that Maemo5 will be dropped, and all updates will soon (probably) cease - six months, PR1.01, PR1.1, PR1.1.1 and now PR1.2 - is somewhat disappointing.

This is like Diablo all over again: 23-14, 30-2, 36-5, then 43-7... then silence. And the hacker editions of 2007 and 2008 on the 770 were downright slow.

Mer... never made it out of the gate. Mer^2, the state of that is... "it's coming". MeeGo for N900... same fate more than likely. Won't support the important bits, will be for enthusiasts that don't mind the closed bits not working and no way to get the modern bits of the OS.

Yet another "start, stop, restart" from Nokia on this one. I do hope that the future "hacker editions" are usable whereas the other ones were truly not.
