The masses also want an eco-system with tons of apps with continual support - this phone will NOT have it - its OS is DEAD out of the gate. Did you miss the fact that mass consumer devices are about the battle of ecosystems now ?

This is not a device to seriously penetrate for the mass market. You will be a fool to think that.

Unlike you - we do not have a spare XXX Euros sitting around in our pocket to buy phones we do NOT like to use.

Unlike you, our cash is LIMITED and we have budgets to work with.

So sorry, your advice is useless to poor plebs like us who have to work full time.

.... Gods you sound the arrogant pompous ***.

Nokia already fvcked many of us once - so many of us want to DONATE money to an entity many of us now DESPISE, in hope that entity MAY have a road to damascus moment sometime in the future ?

Do you know how ridiculous you sound ?

At least abill MAKES an effort to sound sane - you just throw out stupid statements.

NO - how about using some common sense - instead of donating your money to some entity because of brand name (MEEGO!), look at each individual phone AS IT IS RELEASED, and if you like it - THEN BUY IT.

Again - unlike you - many here do not have money to fling around buying expensive toys.

Talk about Nokia fanboi Stockholm Syndrome - you have it in spades.
