it is quite unfortunate, but the last "real" hope for N8x0 series is Mer, and it needs a lot of time (2 years at least!) to be mature enough to substitute maemo 4...
too bad... really. i kinda like my n800 (i'm trying to test a dual ps2-USB converter... N800 + keyboard + mouse =wtf a full pc?!?!?!)
Seems like you've failed at enough things in life to be able to point it out.
I'm out. Enjoy your fanboyism.
Wow! When I got home last night the first thread I read was one where you posted about karma and whatnot... I defended your right to ask a question and was surprised this morning when there was not more community support for my position... Now I see why
Your inappropriate remark about another members life outside this forum is way out of line.

Back on topic... I'm with the camp that believes that the build quality of the N**'s is so good that we will see another wave of enthusiastic users soon.
While the Cummunity SSU would extend the end-of-life of N8x0 devices and permit the community to develop and manage Diablo updates (worthy goals no doubt), I think this thread (or at least my comment) attempts to address the concern that the resulting code will still be owned and distributed by Nokia and, as a practical matter, will die when the N8x0 devices eventually die out.
So the people making comments about the Community SSU, I take it you don't disagree necessarily with saving Diablo, it's just that you give a preference or higher priority for the Community SSU??

I could see some effort into putting out an SSU for fixes already available, and possibly other bug fixes if people get motivated enough to fix them. The goal is to spend a little time to get rid of nagging bugs, so that Diablo is more livable until Mer is ready for normal users.
I wouldn't suggest major new functionality for Diablo.
