I wonder if we could learn anything from previous Maemo releases.
Seems there are some legitimate software issues which have been identified now that the device can be found in the wild. I'm fine with dealing with these for some time as long as I know that Nokia will actively work on resolving them. How much effort can we expect from Nokia to ensure these are going to be resolved? I'm concerned they will pull all their development resources into Maemo 6 soon and leave us with a device "which could have been"

There are usually 2 gyrations of updates in the past before the platform was left stale...I hope this is not the case with Fremantle.

That said, the Diablo OS does seem to have gotten stable before they abandoned it. It's more the extra capabilities and apps that never seemed to have gotten updated.

I don't think nokia can afford to drop the ball on this one...
Not with the amount of units they will sell and the popularity it is gaining.
If they leave this platform like they did diablo, they will be shooting themselves in the foot.
They will lose their credibility for maemo 6

Nokia will email you a code for the Shaft app to download from the secret Ovi directory.
