which is rather funny.

Sure, you're making harmattan great - but evidently that does absolutely nothing for those that bought the N900 and have paid Nokia now.
Again, I recommend you to come back to this topic after the Harmattan alpha release.

Your words, based on your thoughts. Allow me to disagree.

We have bug reports being held to harmattan, and a Nokia VP saying Harmattan will not be on the N900.
Other than that.. no official word on backporting, maintaining or any other aspect of anything. I respect you're an "insider" and may have inside information I do not.. but unfortunately we are not able to base conclusion on information we do not have.
Thus, maybe you know about backporting possibilities.. or maybe you know that M6 will actually be, in some capacity, available to the N900.. but whatever it is that makes you so optimistic is not public knowledge - and that in and of itself is a problem to the consumer.
I have not yet purchased an N900, and this information gives me pause of whether or not I will. Thus, something official should be released to reassure current and/or future N900 users that they aren't garbage. Cuz so far, aside from your word, there hasn't really been anything to the contrary.. but there HAS been what I said above.

I don't really call it "open development" practices.. if it were open - We'd get harmattan on the N900 and this entire debate would be a non-issue.

I can't speak to the portrait mode--I thought the N900 had a portrait mode. And then, I prefer landscape for most things myself anyway, but that's small relief to someone that prefers portrait. I wouldn't, quite yet, be so defeated by the things you're pointing out.
