@ twigleaf1976 If you found out that ALL your problems are software related and that Meego will put it right in every aspect you have wrong how would you feel then about the N900?.

So why meego is being developed to N900 by team that has been put up by Nokia.

Dead? What? Devel release maybe but dead? Are you trolling?

Please will you stop the trolling accusations and allow freedom of speech !.

His comments are called FEEDBACK and now he probably will not answer my question thanks to your menacing attitude !.

Is it your intention to hijack this thread with negative accusations to anyone that says something negative?, it is very simple to turn negatives into positives but not with your attitude i am sorry to say.

Re: What is the future for the n900 from now? meego or no updates or nothing?

There was a relative official statement that there will be Meego for n900.
Please don't put this wrong!
This does NOT mean that it will be available via Nokia as Harmattan or Maemo6. There will be no support from Nokia and no OTA upgrade available. What is the matter with asking this all over again?

@twigleaf1976
N900 will still get an upgrade(s) for Maemo5, and N810 is still alive if you ask the community, it is old but still gets some software upgrades... just not from Nokia.

Yes like many comments on this thread this person is trolling.

No matter what develops or what you say trolls will never be happy.

It's like someone winning a million pounds on the lottery and then saying:
"oh ffs! I only won a million pounds, I wanted 5 million! That's rubbish I'm going to complain and complain and complain until somone does something about it"

I would never take for granted anything Nokia says unless it is splattered all across the internet, one post from a deluded Nokian does not mean it is gospel.

Re: What is the future for the n900 from now? meego or no updates or nothing?

Please stay focused! Ignore troll requests and keep the topic straight. I wont go back through all posts to delete the off-topics...

That does not have to be a Nokian it was one of the Meego guys so it might be one of Intel or some other who is working close to core. Not everything needs to be spread through 20k channels before it becomes true, the right channel to listen to is just enough! Anything in the news is not granted as long as you don't have the official channel as reference.

Is that a hint of sarcasm there?
If MeeGo turns out to be a lifesaver! :)

For me, then n900 is one of the most flexible "smartphones" out there - you can install pretty much anything you want and is fully programmable.

The technical team have done a terrific job of producing the n900 but unfortunately Nokia "management" have obviously mis-managed it.

All we can do is wait and see when the next update to MeeGo performs like. I think it's due in October at some point.

Incidentally according to the open-source Harmattan project the project has been absorbed into MeeGo.

I imagine for a 1.1 release we should expect something quite stable. As regards to any Nokia-specific software I have no idea if the n900 version of MeeGo will get anything - hopefully Nokia will do something.

Who knows if Flash 10 is to be included in MeeGo at some point (it would need to be for the next MeeGo device) then maybe the n900 may actually get a Flash backport.

We can speculate all we like all we can do is wait until October and see what develops.

Re: What is the future for the n900 from now? meego or no updates or nothing?

slender if everything was positive in this world it would be a heck of a boring place to be !.

"I like feedback with sources and some explanations when you are trying generalize something or saying something that you think is fact."

If you know anytthing about a successful bussiness then you will know that negatve feedback is the best thing any company can get IF it knows how to deal with it and put wrongs right !.

He gave positive negatives and explained exactly what the problems are he has and THAT is just the kind of neagivity a comany needs to make good if it is run properly of course.

Umm. Looking at the marketing of N900, Nokia is targeting the general public and not just for those who you think deserve to use the N900. Anyone who show interest and can afford to buy the N900 is their target audience last time I checked.

Posts like this just makes me cringe. A typical fanboy post. I'm a fan of my N900 also and an advocate but it definitely isn't that perfect and can see why many people will complain. (as Nokia doesn't just market it for the super geeks)

A bunch of self-righteous jerks that get off on expounding the beliefs that you're just so gosh darn happy with your damn N900 and Maemo 5 that you're ignorant to anybody else having a problem that you may or may not be having. Geek egocentrics is just as bad as the so-called "iSheep"... all you are doing is just fulfilling the other half of what makes a bad consumer model - compliance and ignorance.

What I want to say is... Umm... What gerbick said. :D

Some are getting confused as to what some are complaining:

1. Most are upset at Nokia in relation to the N900. Not at N900 directly.
2. Nokia said "they" will not provide/support "their" MeeGo on N900.
3. Not enough communication from Nokia about the N900 and its future support that general consumers are interested in such as full OVI maps. (Most don't know or care if N900 will get Qt4.x blah blah) (Also, in some countries, it was only released about a month ago so it's not an old device by any means)
4. Where is the damn Rollercoaster game we've been teased with 5 months ago? (lol, I just added this in for kicks)

Please don't get this confused with:

1. We will probably get fully working non-official/community build Harmattan/MeeGo. Without Nokia's offical support.
2. We will probabaly get fully working Android (Nitdroid) someday. IMO, this is more important than MeeGo as it makes the N900 far more versatile. Obviously not getting Nokia's support for this one. :p
3. N900 is an awesome device with a huge amount of untapped potential still. Thanks to all the super devs/hackers in making N900 the best device for many so far.
