What the hell is going on here, for the 9001th time on the forum?
MeeGo DE is going to be complete rather soon, but it'll always still be a DE. Expect that for a few months after release, it'll feel like Maemo PR1.0 all over again. Hopefully it'll get polished up over time, though. Note the emphasis.
If you need/want a good, stable OS for the N900, it's already here, and it's called Maemo 5 PR1.3. Learn how to use swappolube and Transition Control, and turn on HWSync. If you really need it, 750MHz+XLV is a safe overclock.
Why so negative, TMO?
And BTW, can people PLEASE stop *****ing to the Nitdroid team that NITDroid can't make calls, FC's apps, runs the phone VERY hot, etc. It's very different from Maemo, not to mention they had to make some drivers for it to work acceptably. Same for the people *****ing about MeeGo, 2.6.37 is a real feat on the N900, not to mention how nice it runs on the device (HINT: If all the functions worked - phone, messaging, camera, accel, sensor, slider, MeeGo HUX apps - the quality would be on par with PR1.0. Hopefully that'll be done in a month.)

Nah, abill_uk, I'm fine, it's just that I'm bothered by the amount of people that want MeeGo ASAP just because it's shiny and new.
Personally, I still like Maemo, and contrary to what a lot of people believe, it's still a decent phone OS in 2011 for the enthusiast, unlike iOS and Android.

Hopefully not--but it's left me very cynical despite the "here and now" of MeeGo. There's still closed drivers and firmware to deal with and I can't help getting the sneaking suspicion that Nokia will find a way to ruin it.

Obviously a lot of doubts shadow MeeGo due to past history with Nokia over the N900 so as i said....... we have no choice to wait and see.

MeeGo development is open, if Nokia stop contributing it doesn't mean the work they and we have put in disappears, and it doesn't mean that the development will cease.
If there are legal reasons Nokia do not let everything be open then surely it should be pointed out the area's that are difficult that end up in a nofix situation consquently for the MeeGo release.
My point right from the beggining was not a doubt on the MeeGo development team and everyone involved in its progress but the so called input from Nokia for MeeGo.
