One, they're already risking their own careers or risking the careers of the friends or family members who shared information in confidence. A bit of satisfied curiosity about the mysterious disposable device of the moment doesn't balance easily against the very real danger of not being able to provide for one's self and one's family.

Two, a full comparison of the Harmattan device(s) against a Android device such as the Galaxy S II requires knowledge beyond that which can be gained by seeing, or even using, the Harmattan device(s). We know the Galaxy S II's full specs, price, and carrier adoption. We know the availability of Android apps. We don't know the consumer Harmattan device's full specs, price, or carrier adoption. We know it will have fewer apps than Android, but what, if anything, will be waiting for purchase in the Ovi Store at launch? What will be available in community OBS?

We'll need detailed photos to compare screens. We'll need video to compare the feel of the UI. We'll need to wait for launch details and real reviews.
Agree... But what is wrong with a little speculation. IMHO that's what keeps these forums interesting until the hardware comes...
