I don't know about the smell, but when for an example the whole N900 area of this forum is full of total *something* it's quite easy to get irritated with POSTS THAT USE CAPSLOCK OR BOLD THE WHOLE TEXT. And usually the content of those posts is a bit irritating as well...

I find it so annoying that we have yet another post which has been repeated several times elsewhere.

What is even more annoying is simply that so many of you can't see beyond the end of your own noses! Why would Nokia drop its flagship device?? Its proactively promoting it in shops, theres rumour of a couple of extra updates soon, and now they have tied up with Moblin to combine efforts and create meego.

Seems the right thing to do to me, create a challenger to other phone OS's, pool resource and cut their own costs. In this present day, meeting cost saving targets whilst delivery of state of the art device and future devs is hardly something to be so negative about is it? I'm quite excited at this change and to me proves that Nokia is being proactive about the future.

Well actually, that used to be the case, because you could not get the source or other components to build it for your own hardware.

From what I understand this system will be fully open-source and so porting it back to the N900 should be a more possible task then ever before...

Still wondering if it will happen, agree with that, but at least possibilities are open, instead of fully closed, like it used to be.

Just to resolve all doubt. According to this webpage Nokia said that we will get MeeGo on our N900s.

During a press event at the Mobile World Congress, Nokia and Intel announced the MeeGo platform, a merge of Maemo and Moblin. MeeGo will be rolled out on Media phones, Netbooks, Pocketables/Handhelds, In-car entertainment systems as well as Connected TVs. The MeeGo Technical Steering Group talks about the new platform in a video here.

The first version of MeeGo will be available in the second half of 2010, and Nokia promises a product that builds on the Nokia N900 to begin with. By using the Qt framework, MeeGo will ensure that third-party developers will be available to reach the wide range of product types mentioned above.

Very interesting development.
I'm sitting back to see what's coming.

Edit: At a second thought you might also read it like Nokia will buid an N9xx.

I saw this coming. When I read that the VP said the N900 will not get "Maemo 6" it seemed to me he said it in such a way that implied it will get something.. just not that.

Then when I read this announcement I figured it was a matter of time before that came out.

However, strangely enough, that quote says MeeGo first will be available second half 2010 which is the same time the M6 device is due - so are they doing both at the same time? What's the logic in that?

That "builds on" can very well mean that they will just use the experience acquired in the N900 for the next lineup of the software and hardware, not that the N900 will have MG.

From the gossip I have read, Maemo 6 betas run on the N900, but with no multi-touch, that being the biggest hurdle on Nokia deciding if they will work to finds ways to support it without multitouch, or leave that to the community.
