Naw dude...

It was a project restricted via microeconomics; thus it was never meant to sell in huge numbers and they're puffing up their chest because they were able to sell an FOSS project that wasn't entirely FOSS and did so with little to no marketing and it created a niche market that kept folks tied to a forum, a set of repositories and justified some purchases (Qt for instance)... all for the lulz it seems.

"Challenge accepted*" - Nokia

* Disclaimer: But that does not mean that there will support, market, or open up all of the UI, drivers... important things to developers that consider it important everywhere else but on Maemo.

And absolutely no hot pants or kaiju cosplay on Wednesdays.
