I know this request is unlikely, and I make this request with no illusions that Nokia will do something thats not in the best interest of their bottom line, but HERE GOES!!

This was my first Nokia Product, and over all I am 99% THRILLED with my N900. Like some N900 have already found out, (and pobably the rest of the n900 users will in the future) there is a serious design flaw in the micro USB port that with normal use it will become damaged. Recently I experienced this and was very disappointed.

The though occured to me with the new N9/N950/RM680 device coming soon, would Nokia consider a trade up program where you can trade in your N900 for the new Hartman device at cost?

Ok rant over what do you think....

Questions answering time:

Trade in up program? How much would you want off the new "Hartman" device to trade up?

How much would you pay for a re-engineered permanant fix for your broken micro USB port?

Would you even consider another Maemo/Hartman/Meego device from Nokia?

I think if you own an N900 and are a Maemo.org member over one year, you should get a discount of about $200. We deserve it for the USB debacle.

So I should break my usb port in order to have a discount for the next meego device? No way!
Debian > Redhat for personal usage.

Lets hope your port doesn't break in the future so you won't need a discount..

This Hartman device sounds amazing. Where can I buy it?

If the n9 doesn't have a keyboard, would that not be a trade down...

But that's just it. You will feeel a real keyboard in your hands. lools Special technology from the Blackbox funding over at areanokia research centre. Feeel the vibratory stimuli sensations & "our next sense" n950 is something unique with innovative technology before anyone else. Rumours Apple have license the sensegs haptikos electro vibration sensitive Haptikos hardware tech like display for their new IP5.

It's actually Heartman, as in Nokia's alter ego as a Mexican pro wrestler.

Harmattan trade-up program would be a nice, except

1) I'll never trade my N900 away, until they pry it from my cold dead hands,

2) refer to no. 1

No worry, Elop will offer a trade up.

Bring in your N900, and get a brand new Windows Phone. Extra for tmo members it will come with Ballmer's autograph!

Actualy my ideal preference would be:
Gentoo > Debian > Redhat
Really hate the rpm.
