I said this before and I'll say it again to a lot of you...
Nokia gave this to us to have fun with and to see what we could do with the device. Everyone should have known that this day would have come sooner or later, they want to target the bigger sence.
Just like Hip Hop for instance, todays music (Hip Hop) is some comercial bull**it to be honest. Some tunes are okay a very miniscule like 5%<. So now everyone goes commercial to get the recognition and rake in the money.
Same with Nokia they are leaving the "nitty gritty" and jumping on the bandwagon of fitting in with the scene instead of leading like they used to.
Sooner or later in about a few years time they'll release another gadget for us to play with again. Only at that point I don't know anyother thing you could possibly need in a phone.
Any how....
Getting to my main point. This is Nokia saying everyone needs to move on to MeeGo once were there and happy we can move on to bigger better things. I understand that people don't like change but it happens so get over it.
Not being a d**k about it or horrible but yeh... Hopfully you see my point
could nokia have done worse by this device? this community in the face of little support and important things remaining closed has worked wonders. but nokia? while android and ios have blossomed nokia have sat back and just let the n900 which had great potential die.
nokia should be taken out behind the proverbial barn and shot. to charge $600+ for a device that had limited support at best, was buggy as hell and had apx 1 year of that same lackluster support...well it really sad. forget about what you personally like better, this ios or android, and just look at the effort manpower and money that went into supporting your purchase and then say with a straight face that nokia did right by their customers.

must I play my "step 4/5" -card again? what is wrong with you when the same fud must be corrected n+1 times in this thread.
The only reason the n900 is not selling is because they didn't brought it to the big public. by the way the n8 sucks hard compared to the n900. even when it is old!
manufacturers should support a product atleast for the time it will be used. with most phones that is 2 years from release. so abbondening it after one year is kind of strange. especially if you see how many unfixed bugs there still are..
well can anyone confirm that nokia had said it stopped supporting the n900? or is it just that one bug that was closed? Without hard evidence nothing is sure
I paid six hundred dollars. Nokia didn't "give" me anything.
That would be incorrect. You "gave" Nokia $600, and Nokia gave you your N900. There was no promise in literature that you recieved with it that you would have quarterly updates or anything. You made a decision like the rest of us to take a chance on a non-mainstream OS. I couldnt be happier with mine, and I've had it since November 2009. Its like buying a car in its first production run. Maybe you shouldnt have taken the chance on it.
NOKIA, I promise you, the n900 it was my last device i everbought from nokia - the next device is an android based phone! i hope many maemo developers will go on support nitdroid now!
