What are you talking about, all is well.

And here's the latest from Nokia's US HQ.

Relax, everything's fine.

I like it daperl All is well

I just realized we can argue and convince each other all we want but it still won't change what Nokia, or Ovi, or the developers do

Wait and See... if you are unhappy buy a new phone.

How exactly does this prove that n900 will not get meego and/or further updates? Just b/c there is a lack of concrete proof that it WILL happen does not prove that it WILL NOT happen. IMO there are more positive signs than negative...

1 simple question :

Which other phone gives you FLAC/ Multitasking / inbuilt Skype/Facebook/Twitter/ Linux / and so much more till date ?

If only there was no Proximity sensor prob. but oh well!

! happy user!

Compared to an iphone, ( which only lasts a year..till the new one comes out) N900 is far much better..2 years and still no signs of obsolete.

Compared to Android phones : I've lost count as to how many Android phones are out there.. still there are bugs in the android platform..

Maemo 5 is just 1 device..give nokia a break... :-/

Any phone has its own set of features.

Hmmm, no signs? You have had it for two years when its only been out for 7 months? What kind of clown are you.

There are a few Android phones and only 1 Maemo phone and that makes it a credit?

One device with many problems. I would gladly give Nokia several breaks.

Note that it's summer in Europe, and as such, a lot of people (including Finns) generally take an awful lot of holiday.

I have been a Nokia Fan for quite a long long time.

My Second phone, N95, which i purchased the first day that it landed in the retail stores (3 years ago) for which i spent a fortune USD 539.00 (Middle East), and the first impression i got was, WTH, Will This S*** ever be able to serve a purpose as a smartphone? The Wall Posters in markets read "Its what computers have become" and I was like hell no, and if this is what phones have become, I am doomed. Much like now, most forums worldwide went crazy, ranting and flaming and all.

Today, trust me, after 3 long years, I still use my N95 and its really a very very amazingly stable device with its latest firmware. To tell the truth, Nokia has a habit of late entry, I mean, like in a movie, when the situation is at the worst and when the hero pops in, how do we all feel, thats the kinda situation here.

When the P.R. 1.2 was released, for a few weeks, all were silenced, but then slowly started again. Yes the rants and all started coz of the new bugs that came into existance and also some old unreslved bugs. Its normal for Nokia to release Firmwares extremely late and all, and personally, I know that the N900 really needs some serious looking into as of its current issues. At the moment, it is more of a computer and less of a phone... Lol.

Also, the work being done in this forum, "the constructive part", I would like to applaud on that. I am a proud owner of the N900 and a proud member of this forum. Personally I am a NooB when it comes to the Linux Maemo and all, but I am learning to understand my phone better and am lovin it

.( Dont you just love to get into XTerminal as root and try out some commands that your N900 understands and replies back and follows your order

?)

Specs and Feature wise I am very very very happy (OpenSource to the extent that you are allowed to do anything? No Company has ever thought to go this far for the Tech Oriented (Geeks)

. )
OS, Not that satisfied with it due to current bugs that kinda puts me in a difficult situation. (A Turn Off Factor, I know

)

PR 1.3, we can hope for the best like we all used to do with Nokia in the past. And well, gotta be prepared for the worst too...
