Oh, and end of the line products are often the best products, the real classics. (As far as I understand things though, every Maemo product except the N810 counts as an end of the line product. (The N810 was followed by the N810 wimax.))

Impatience seems to be the rule on these boards. Poor Elop, barely a year on the job and they expect miracles.....

Have a good read here. It's a slight pain if you're deploying code or if you have to run as a privileged user - but at the same time, it's easily sidestepped on the device.
Just an extra step to do so.

As I understand it, there are some loopholes present on the N950, but these may be tightened for the N9.

I've been too busy/lazy to diagnose the problem.
how is the battery life on n950?

I've used skype video chat on the N900 quite some times... Not my problem that people can't leave their house too while doing so.

My Galaxy Tab is nearing a year soon--still getting updated software. Even the Color Nook gets updated Flash--and that's a freaking eReader tablet produced by a mere BOOKSTORE chain. Would you like me to take screenshots to show you which versions of Flash I'm running on my devices? ...or I can just type them to you if you'd like. What kind of support did Nokia promise along the way with each of these devices? What kind of support did they deliver? From what I saw, they over-promised each time.. and drastically under-delivered. Why are you so afraid of the mere mention of better support elsewhere? It's ponderous how much fear you're displaying--granted, you have to move off of Nokia to get something with better support these days, but you seem overly fearful of the mere mention. Getting back to the original point: I wouldn't buy anything from Nokia based on promised features, software or updates. Buy it ONLY if it delivers what you want at the time it's released because anything afterwards is just lucky bonuses, based on their history.
about flash dont come say oldest androidphones has latest flash support. (like crapy htc nmagic that was released same year as n900)

In all seriousness, when did Nokia promise the updates you're whining about for the N900? I don't remember hearing anything like that, and I followed that launch pretty closely. I also bought one in December '09.

Want me to take notice? Announce that ***** in the US, UK, Germany (and NOT by having to import it from Austria), France, Canada or somewhere else.
Until then, I have a right to complain. Those countries you linked to means I'm paying a currency exchange fee + import taxes + who knows what other premiums will be slammed on top of wanting one in a country that's mentioned above.
