I still love my n900 and dont regret buying it but it continually seems as if Nokia overlook the n900 device and community when it does things like this. I understand it is probably difficult to support 2 different mobile operating systems, but come on at least show us a little love!
Well.. this is really the first thing to really bother me about my N900... kind a disappointed… and shows that Nokia is not that really interested in supporting our beloved N900..
Since I don't have a beloved N900, just a beloved N810, this doesn't hit me as hard as some. But it is the straw that broke this camel's back.
I was planning to purchase the N900 after it's firmware got its first major fix. With this announcement, it is clear that Nokia views N900 users as beta testers for a future Maemo 6 product. Furthermore, it makes it much more likely that the upgrade path from Maemo 5 to Maemo 6 will be the same as the upgrade path from Maemo 4 to Maemo 5 - nonexistent.
I'm not giving up my N810 but I am reluctantly giving up on the N900 and Fremantle.
If the below is the case, its flat out wrong - you buy the flagship device and arent even considered for an upgrade.:

My Lord, SOMEONE teach Nokia how to do PR - What statement is correct? What is up with Nokia, how did they get tosuch a dominant position with their incompetence.
