Don't make me rewrite this like I'm doing with Nokia's media player :P

I think that more people are willing to donate to this project because a lot of people wants it.
I´m like Mohammad against closed source, but i´m using a phone with a lot of closed source applications so in this case that´s not the point, I think.
So, I agree with Mohammad.

I do not mind donating or paying for it but my main concern would be:
I am planning on keeping this device for atleast another year. And as we all know that we keep tinkering with it and end-up reflashing the device what would be from a year from now if I reflashed my device and want to redownload the item I paid for and is not available because you moved on and scrapped the project?

The point is that I never said "closed source" 
I can release the source to community after a bit.
"Ovi way" is because I think that a lot of N900 users doesn't know what "opensource" and "donate" means.
I think so because I know some popular applications that never received donations (or almost)

If you really want to capitalize on it I will just put it on OVI and hope for best.
(have you thought about the consequences that Nokia might hammer on you on OVI for changing their core keyboard with yours?)
Anyways, goodluck
Edit:
Not saying that it will be scraped from OVI but if there just happens to be a new official PR from Nokia and is not compatible with your package and then you are not around and working on it then your project is scrapped automatically.

I very highly doubt you'll be able to get this into the Ovi Store.
Make it open source and donationware.
