Yes, we do. I got major OS updates for the 770 and the N800. The N900 is only 3 months old, what major system update would you expect?

Bless you. But, it's starting to irritate me, for one. Too many threads getting highjacked, too many semi-rational rants, too many misunderstandings, too little constructive dialog.

You are far better than I then. For me, the N900 is my primary work phone (even though some keep saying it is not a phone) and gets extensive use for all sorts of things. I travel often and if I can get 2 years of useful service I will be happy. Besides, two years from now, even in the backwards US, we may have 4G service and that will require a new device.

II usually keep one or two of these threads in my subscription list for fun, but mostly I ignore them.
We're all smart people here. Honestly, we all know what to do.
- Unless you're a moderator going in to close a thread or something, don't bother with provocative troll threads. Don't even read them. You've got way better things to do.
- Don't try to play forum paladin here. Nokia doesn't need defenders from trolls. If you're posting defenses against FUD, you're actually part of the problem. No seriously, cut it out. If you are a Maemo employee and you post a defence that includes some new information, that's different.
- If you notice that a young thread is a few pages long and very active, it is probably going to be noisy. If you're the type that doesn't like that atmosphere, stay out. If you don't like crowds, you don't walk into a pub that is standing-room only, do you?
- Use the "thread search", "forum search" and "power search" functions in the forums to find stuff that you're interested in, rather than just visiting the "New Posts" page and jumping into the most active threads.
- Get involved in some actual development / testing / wiki maintenance work around here. You'll find your opinion of the forums improving.

A separate post for this:
Everyone keeps saying, "OS updates on iPhone still work on old devices" without realizing that this actually means that the new devices must be underperforming in order to maintain compatibility.
I for one would rather have a compatibility layer (ie a compatible version of QT and web runtime) on Maemo 5 to run MeeGo apps rather than castrating Harmattan in order to make it run on old devices.

a good designed OS can run on both setup and utilise the hardware to its full potentional.
edit: with good driver support from from manufactures
And height, scope... that can be seen as semantics. My point was that there are people hammering you for decisions and changes outside your scope. I had thought you would be grateful for the clarification...
