Just be patient and you will see the full potential hopefully (with baited breath) from this community.

Nokia may well have screwed up big time but from where i am standing i see much to happen yet for our device.

Hey i am not talking a fortune here you know! we had a figure of something like 20 quid for a full mod for your information and i refuse point blank to make people suffer more than they already have with Nokia.

In future course i will let go some of my work but as it is tied up with sofware problems i am waiting to move forward from here.

By the way YSSSS i bloodywell Will ASK THIS COMMUNITY TO HELP simply because there is no better place on this earth for great expertise than on this very community (argue with THAT!).

I do see where you are coming from, but it was the same with overclocking; if people want to do it, then they will do it. You just add a big disclaimer above the howto :D I mean thats like not submitting stuff to hackaday in case people actually acted on it, this is a phone for hacking is it not?

I can't really complain about people wanting to make some money off of this though, I would probably do the same in your situation to be honest. :p

One easy peasy answer is " I HAVE MY DOUBT with the future" lol. If 2012 will be the end of the world as the Myan calender theory like sceptics think it is then what ever MeeGo is, it will never going to beat the IOS or the Droid in the race. But if the world won't end on 12/12/2012 then MeeGo may be catching up after 2012 but it won't be the best OS out there.

My theory is MeeGo (Children of Blood sucking Evil Empire Nokia with Intel) is like a baby inside the women's womb at the moment and we are not yet know which gender this one will come out in. Maemo is an adult and too old to continue and is dying.
Apple IOS is a young healthy young man and is the son of the Giant Evil Empire Apple.

The Droid is son of Giant Empire Google, it is still under the puperty and steriod to try to get big faster to challenging the IOS. Not to mention Wimo7 and Symbian and other few.

Wimo is dying and re-encanated in a billionair family and to be a better version called Wimo7 and is still a baby at the moment, though at this state, there are many supporters from MS the Evil Giant Empire.

All we can do now is to sit and wait for the War to start and then backing up the one that is winning. After all the loser will end in disaster and will be forgotten.

This community will exists for many years to come and will do what it can to bringing something new and useful to the slowly forgotten N900.

You live in a strange strange world, but it weirdly makes sense heh heh

Re: what is this community prepared to do for us regarding the N900?

So... a whole bunch of pages later and not one link to some definitive statement either way?

I'm starting to think you people enjoy the FUD. Otherwise, you'd stop it in its tracks post haste.

If only the team spirit would come together without the *****ing and arguing about who is right and who is wrong and simply get on with the job of making progress on the lagging N900.

Re: what is this community prepared to do for us regarding the N900?

You want to know what happens? Speak to the people who had Newtons and saw Jobs kill off everything. They banded together, released patches, fixed hardware glitches, and are still using their 2000s and 2100s 12 years after Apple pulled the plug. And you have the bonus of QT, where apps can still be readily made for the n900 via C++ or Python.

The n900 may not have an official future with Nokia, but can still live on for many years yet :)

The N900 WILL go on for many a year as it has massive potential BUT it will only do so with the help of this community this i am sure of and the sooner it gets its act together and stop the *****ing, get onto the problematic issues drawing in the people like myself who can contribute ( my side is hardware btw ) will be the day this community expands in a positive and healthy readable way.

Your post just shows what does happen in this world when people get it together and help eachother so thanks for that ok!!!.
