Meh, I'm with you there. Hopes are ditched. Here's hoping that "Step 6 outta 6" from nokia will provide a much better and well baked phone that is truly worthy of aquiring. Don't get me wrong, I'm in love with this phone, but I'd rather stop waitng for something that may never come. On a more optimistic viewpoint, at least step 6 would have ironed out all remaining kinks in this phone...*Hopefully*

Well, I doubt nokia is that crazy to ignore the ENTIRE Asia market. I heard that nokia will be launching Maemo 6 phones by Q2. I believe that is worth waiting for. Still, If even THAT ain't comming here... then i'll...i'll

On a side note, at least we SHOULD have new phones that run the new symbian^3 by next year around the same time. Not much of a consolation if Maemo 6 doesn't get here, but at least symbian^3 should be much better than what we have now. *hopefully*

Well, as defence for my lingering hope to aquire a Maemo phone here in Asia , I would say that those were not exactly phones but internet tablets, so its probably a reason that it MAY not appeal to everyone since most people are looking for a phone, not an internet tablet. Still, If Maemo 6 really does not launch here, at least we should have new Symbian^3 phones by next year.
