I agree with this and think that it is extremely naive to think that you are somehow sticking it to The Man if you buy an N9. It's like a bee trying to sting an elephant. No effect whatsoever.

I will not be purchasing an N9, as the manufacturer has all but announced that the device is DOA. There is likely to be little or no software support, which is not a dealbreaker for me, but lack of hardware support most definitely is. I don't want to risk having to return an N9 to Nokia in a few months time, only to be offered an N8 or some Windoze crap as a 'suitable replacement'.

Nokia have sent a clear message to their potential N9 customers that they are of no value to them. Message received and understood.
