i can understand wanting to install other OS' out ouf curiosity and I'll try both android and meego when released when i get around to it on my N900, but I dont understand the people who want android more than maemo... you already had the option to have android running 100% on your phone and turned it down ...by buying a N900 instead
That means if you recommend this phone to someone else, there's only a 1 in 6 chance that the person will be content with the OS that it comes with... and future upgradeability is still questionable (ease of installation, support and 100% functionalities should be taken into account).
Why would you be content if there was a new system that has feature parity but is also newer and therefore (hopefully) better? Are people that blow $500 on a phone of the kind that would be "content" and therefore not interested in moving on, if given the chance (without paying extra)?
I bought N900 because I was looking for some device for Flash mobile development.
I'm glad to see that community put some effort to port Froyo on N900 since Nokia failed. If in the future I can get Flash 10.1 on MeeGo... that's even better for me because using 1 device I can cover more OSes.
The only good thing Nokia did was to gave us this device. Nothing else.
The rest has value ONLY because of this community.
