I hate to have said that I bought into the idea that something was going to be announced; however after now... I fear that I've gone from anticipation to basic apathy with the non-announcement thus far.

Not because I need a new phone. I don't. Not because I bought into the hype by two people in the thread that claimed to have knowledge that others didn't; truth comes in time. I'm not impatient... I've been waiting since Maemo 4.1 for a device that I'd buy into again. It hasn't happened yet... not like I'd like. The N900 was a curiosity. I waited, didn't regret it, it still broke.

So instead of teasers, lack of commitment on any comments that are worth anything and instead of putting my faith on anything that is beyond pure speculation - that's all it is so far - I'd rather temper my purchasing power and ability to something that's a given.

No device is out with current specs that has everything, or even a majority of what I want. I'll make do with my current device... not because I have to, but because I'm willing. And to continue to guess, jump at speculation or assume that I'll find out more tomorrow is a fool's endeavor. I'm willing to admit that my hope has probably been spent on anything Nokia for quite a while.

And that's not frustration speaking. That's just the currency of "hope" that Nokia would deliver being totally spent. Something comes out that wows me... I'll buy it. But as it stands, I now have a dual core, rather competent phone in my pocket.

I have a dual core, rather competent tablet in my laptop bag/carrying case that does what I need, has some impressive looking 3D games for it (Riptide GP is friggin' awesome on the Xoom) and I'm not exactly hurting for tech.

The world continues to revolve. I continue to look forward to something that will fill my pockets and pique my interest. I'm looking for that same spark that I had the first time I touched a 770. And unfortunately, per each day... Nokia loses a chance to be that person that does that for me.

Oh well. Not bitter. Not angry. Nor anything other than just happy with what I have that still works, enjoyed my N900 while it still had a microUSB that was intact and I'm learning more about coding on my Android per day when I'd rather be programming on a Maemo device.
