Even here, when i bought it in April there was no sign for it.
Only when nokia announced Meego not for n900 it all this started.

About the price, lets use logic. Palm Pre was out at about the time and had under its hood more or less the same hardware as the N900.
Same goes for the Droid/Milestone. All those had the same price tag more or less. So no, we didnt get a "beta" discount.

As you said, it was out nearly at the same time as the N900. I'll state again, as well, that I'm very glad I skipped the N900. I hope MeeGo will be a far better experience, despite my crestfallen experiences with Nokia.

it is just funny, and a way to show that numbers means nothing.

Seriously, did you sign any "Experiment closure" with Nokia?
No, Noone did. I dont give a **** thats for them its a "step".

Let's follow the logic on each:

a) Flash 10.1. If MeeGo didn't exist, don't you think Maemo 5 would have had Flash 10.1? Why would Nokia / Adobe support a dead platform?

b) Ovi Maps 3.x. For the sake of argument, let's say QT is write once, run everywhere. Why would it not then appear on the N900? Because it makes no sense to support a future less platform.



There's a difference between releasing a product that was in beta and customers expecting rough edges versus expecting people to buy into a platform with no future.
