I will likely buy an N9,because I like the N9. if you do not, that's fine; that's the beauty of a capitalist marketplace. but kicking & screaming solves nothing, and makes you look pathetic.
They may not consider openness and data ownership now but Nokia was once a great company which catered to all audiences with different handsets. Now it has chosen a one size fits all approach with something that consumers are not that interested in. So I'm going to ask you the same question about WP7. If most consumers do not value this thing, why should nokia? Hope this doesn't come across as kicking and screaming, I've moved on, but I hope your emails weren't just "I agree, mein fuhrer".
