so am I rght in thinking that all us n900 owners have effectivly just paid to take part in an experimnt?
I know how business works and wouldn't be supprised if Maemo was only ever planned for one device purly in order to pave the way for Meego.
Unfortunatly for you the iPhone 4g is going to smack Meegos sorry ***.
If I were you i'd ditch it and produce something truly game changing while you can.
Apple now have music and apps and style locked down to a point where you will never beat them.

>> So, this was earlier in the week. Placed an order.
If you are not happy with the n900 NOW (i.e. if Nokia announces tomorrow there will be NO more support AT ALL for the n900) then CANCEL that order or return it (you have a cooling off period correct?)
In the long run this will save you grief
On the other hand, if you are happy with the n900 NOW such that if Nokia announced tomorrow there will be NO official support AT ALL, you wouldnt even care AT ALL (this is NOT hyperbole, most unix/tech users here are like this) then buy the n900.
But if you have ANY doubt at all, cancel that order and look elsewhere.

Actually it's now so easy to jail break an iPhone it's not even funny.
Remember that due to it's massive popularity there are unlimited possibilities.
The N900 has hardly any decent apps. It's all about apps.

Oh. Whoopie. I just shelled out fo a communicator that will function like ubuntu on a 5 year-old Dell. Bits will work, but other bits will involve me wasting hours trawling obscure lists to find hacks to fix stuff that should have worked out of the box, or having to wait for functionality until some GNU developer feels moved to write it for free. Great.
My partner needs a new phone - I'll tell her to avoid Nokia, as Symbian is getting a bit long in the tooth now, and look at android.
I have to say I am completely gutted, beneath the cynical reply. I have been looking for a device like this ever since I bought a Psion 5 and sold my Psion 3 to a friend (and regretted that ever since). Such a buzz, finding my media centre PC listed on the network, being able to pull down videos of whales off Kaikora I took two years ago and watching them on it.
Such a shame. This device had so much potential. I am gutted. And I am disgusted at Nokia. Having used Nokias for many years, it feels like a betrayal, but I will make sure my partner gets something else now.
