You brought up an instance of you yourself installing language packs on friend's phones and IMPLIED that it was commonplace. Don't backpedal now, stand by what you wrote. You clearly tried to make it seem as if that was standard procedure. I merely stated to the OP that the likelihood of being charged for a language pack for the N9 was nearly impossible. My comparison to charging for ice cubes in a drink at a restaurant was merely to illustrate how absurd the idea of charging for languages on cell phone is. Clearly, you're too stuck on the fact that I used the word r3tard to actually use any sort of critical thinking to catch that.

Also, his example showed ABSOLUTELY NO COMMON SENSE, as it compared the software of ONE manufacturer to the practices of an ENTIRE industry.

Lastly, your comment about cars has no relevance to this conversation and only serves to illustrate how off base your argument is.

I never said that Microsoft and Nokia were unrelated. But in the example you cited, they are. Microsoft Office is very much unrelated to the discussion at hand. We're speaking of software, on a cell phone, developed and manufactured by Nokia. How on Earth would the N9 be related to Microsoft Office? Yes, Microsoft has a history of charging for language packs for Microsoft Office. I know this. I've had to buy a few in my lifetime. But this isn't about a cell phone manufactured by Microsoft, but by Nokia.

So how about we play a little game. Name all of the cell phones you've ever bought (by any manufacturer) that you've had to buy extra languages for. I'll even let you include those bought by friends and family just for kicks. If the answer is more than 3, I'll buy you an N9.
