On a conceptual level, they're both criticisms levelled by an individual towards a company. Maybe yours is "100% valid", and that's fine. You haven't invalidated my own, and therefore they are equally valid.

Proprietary messaging platforms are a problem, and I have every right to voice criticisms as I see fit.

Also, you're sidestepping that fact that it isn't worth using LiveProfile in the slightest. To be honest, with carriers pushing infinite SMS/MMS packages further and further down their pricing structures I don't give them much of a shelf life anyway.
No data needed really. Obviosuly I stated a "non-verified" number to reinforce my point but still, in Korea, Nokia currently has 3 "old" devices in the market. These models do support Korean but outside that, none do natively for all other models around the world on any of their current OS platforms. Now they stepped out of Japan also. But yeah, at least Microsoft's WP7 will fully support Korean with Mango onwards.

I wasn't trying to invalidate your comment. I was mearly saying that you are targeting the wrong person/dev to point out that criticism about the lack of integrated messaging platforms. He doesn't have the power to change the OS of other platforms unfortunately.

Also, you again say that it's not worth using liveProfile. Then why is every friend I have using WhatsApp on their Android/iPhones and most Koreans using a similar app called kakaotalk worldwide?

I understand what you mean in a technical sense. But this world doesn't revolve around such. It revolves around fame and fortune unfortunately. So everyone is out for themselves making their own stuff. But I have to say your argument about infinite SMS/MMS package is very closed minded. Many people I know around me use $1 or prepaid SIM cards with zero or hardly any free SMS/Calls bundles. (even I have 1) Then they pay $1-10 extra for just data. No way I wanna pay extra for SMS/MMS everytime I send one.

Anyways. My point is, thinking small here, we should welcome and "thank" anything that is made to run on our love-deprived N900 and not argue.
