Can you clarify? The N900 is sold subsidised in the UK with Extras
enabled. We've not heard anything that the Harmattan device will
change this (apart from the security framework and the permissions
granted to apps from particular repos); indeed, there was a discussion
about this very topic:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56073
If you've got experience (or, even more importantly, knowledge) that
this is going to change; I'm sure we'd like to know :-) Anyway,
there's a lot of similar discussion in that thread once it gets into
the realm of operator preferences.
Similarly, it's not outside the realms of possibility that the
customisations that an operator does on a phone may make the device no
longer MeeGo compliant. This is one of the tools used by the OHA to
try and minimise Android fragementation.
Cheers,
Andrew
