[maemo-users] how to update Nokia N810 to maemo 5

[From: Samer Azmy]

what is the life cycle of Nokia Nx series ? how many years  ?!
Can you compare it to the rest of the hardware manufactures ?

can you compare to other Nokia mobile phones ?

it seems that Nokia creates such hardware and make it for geeks to have
kinda of free R&D research community, imagining that geeks do not care about
money, they just care about the toy/gadget

I still appreciate that some1 from nokia gets into this discussion LOL

please when you say Meego is supported on N900, send references and links

kind regards
Sam
