krisse, OS2008 is good enough. But, like almost every new OS releases, things get more usefull, better products, faster apps....

The usual answer is that Mer is the way for the current OS2008 users. But to this day I still haven't understand exactly if we will be able to easily install or at least port Fremantle packages to Mer or not... Will they have a similar UI, for example? Or is it more of an independent distribution?...

To give a serious answer, I think Nokia said the Maemo 5 specifications require a certain level of hardware which the N800 and N810 don't have, so there couldn't be a full release of M5 on the N800 or N810.

Yes Krisse, I was suspecting that. Lack of hardware to support this new Maemo 5.
I just gave up using N800 because it was to slow. And, for me, the biggest flaw: A decent RSS reader. I'm still using my Qtek S200 with pRSSreader, the best RSS reader ever known.
