can't talk for the guy, of course, but i suspect he doesn't have a clue, 'cuz he doesn't know anything.
like i said in my reply to your previous question, making that kind of restriction would make the customer phone (the only one you and i will every be able to get, right?) as interesting (@ least for me) as a rotten iPotato
(i got one free from me provider once; used it a week, then threw it in a drawer and started using an 2+ yr old N95 again)
as i said before, NOKIA can't afford to treat us (you, me, all the other NOKIA users who haven't switch to iOS or ANDroid YET) like that.
i'm not going to buy a m@ke$$h!t LostDOS se7en Paralysed phone; i'd rather buy a LG phone (w/ MeeGo) or even w/ ANDroid.
ANYTHING but m@ke$$h!t, even on a NOKIA
except, maybe, if the NOKIA can be flashed w/ MeeGo ¦-))))))
