There. Fixed.
I agree too. Iphone is my dumbphone (no need to tweak it or temper tantrum over it), N900 is my smartphone (smartass that is)

CSSU has brought some good enhancements, *none* of which would have been possible without the vendor if all significant parts were closed. Sure, there are some things that can't be fixed, but the fact that my phone has a desktop that works in portrait (and many other pieces now work in portrait), that I can lock the desktop and launcher (so you don't accidentally move things around) and lots of other features, are because enough of it is open.

Have you tried current CSSU?

Not even the meego.ce team could put together a decent UX let alone an independant OS for the N900 and they have access to ALL closed code of the N900.
Remember that Meego is only doing *reference* UIs. The Nokia N900 people who have access to "ALL closed code" are doing hardware adaption, and the fact that a lot of N900 and other RX- device support is in mainline kernel is a testament to Nokia having done some things right.

I don't believe anyone at Nokia working on Meego had the mandate to open-source closed pieces of Fremantle or Harmattan. However, you keep basing all of Nokia's efforts on this single aspect, which was (AFAIK) never the plan.

Do you honestly think anything will be different when already Nokia have said no support if any and once again the OS of the N9 is CLOSED SOURCE, so it is another "here we go again" situation.
You would have to be more particular about what you consider to be the OS. Some people wouldn't consider the default graphical shell on a consumer electronics device to necessarily be the OS, whereas others might.

As for further development from a community or who ever.... yeah yeah yeah and look at what happened with the N900 !!!.
You keep saying that, but the proof that is available in CSSU shows that even if a platform isn't 100% open, it is still possible to provide valuable improvements with those that are.

Dont think so. Those are the active visitors to the site. I need a smartphone next to my iphone dumbphone. Who can ship it to me? And where are the Mexicans on this board? Our southern neighbours will apparently get it
