Meego will come to N900 anyway - the N900 is a reference design.

@qwazix, cfh11: But didn't Andre say: "Though you might be correct..."? He must have referred to "Marcin" saying that Nokia has discontinued Maemo5?
But you are right about the Instinctiv situation though, that if Nokia gives them the advice to put their weight and resources on MeeGo rather than Maemo has no relevance to whether Maemo5 is discontinued when it comes to support. I'm sorry that I misunderstood that and apologize.

Im working on my first app for Ovi Store in Qt for N900 (Cos thats what I own).... Its slow going because its only in my spare time outside my main job but its almost finished! But I can with a bit of tweaking make it work on Symbian phones and also Meego when thats ready. And anybody working in Qt should be able to target N900 also. At the moment.
My concern would be if they stop support for N900 that they stop new releases of Qt for N900. So that would mean anybody developing using Qt4.7+ features would not be easily able to taget n900.
Still I see nowhere besides one random persons comment to suggest anywhere that nokia have stopped supporting N900 or will do so soon.

Hi,
the question is poor support from NOKIA and their ignotance of N900 after few months.

So meego is wait and see (or wait official announcement) but nokia really should have longer support for it keeping in mind it is step 6/5.

But, as we all know, it was born in beta and will die (or has died) in beta.
I'm not even sure why this is the case. It can't be rocket science to fix a few bugs and add a few features. Get 5 volunteers from the top ranks here, have them sign an NDA and give them the sources. Problem solved. No support for them, happy customers, all donationware.
Yes, I know. But it's a warm fuzzy thought, isn't it?

But I love my N900 as it is, the community support has made a good device into a great one.
i think we should ust give more support to the NITDROID proyect to make it the new OS on the n900 and make it Ndroid
since there are lots of android devs around, we should just take advantage of it, better tools, better apps, more devs and full open source, better in almost every way.
ilike my n900 but hell, it discourages getting a good smartphone and then they saying discontinued, ure fkd.
if all this rant its about support, lets just give it to nitdroid
my 2 cents
The N900 has been out over a year now, it doesn't have any major bugs that really need fixing (at least not as far as I have noticed), therefore it won't bother me if Nokia doesn't provide further updates for the software on the N900 and I don't expect Nokia to provide further support for this device other than honouring warranties.
