n900 has probably taught users to wait with any Nokia new release, as there is a good chance they will abandon the device and/or offer shoddy product development if past history is anything to go by.

But as long as the hardware is Kosher and quality and there is sufficient independence i.e community and different operating systems installed, as well as the user being able to adapt to fixes and challenges (not that they should have to) one can find reasons to buy the device.
