The problem here is that the situation of "revamped-OS-must-have-new-hardware" was lived here already in the transition from Diablo to Fremantle, and although it was reasonable, it was still a hard pill to swallow for many.

Asking customers (specially new ones) to pass through the same situation, in a short time span, it is a harder pill to swallow, even more when there is a sensible feeling about Maemo 5 being incomplete.

Would users of [competitor] expect to get a totally renewed UX to their current devices, including all new pre-installed apps and a revamped OS?
User of [competitor] doesn't have to upgrade their devices every time the new and revamped OS leaves the previous one at a dead-end. That being because other mobile OS's upgrades are evolutions instead of revolutions, however, it is an important point to many people.
