OK we will go through your post bit by bit and look at your mentality behind this.

This proves the failure of Nokia and it is very consistent, reason in my opinion is always down to software failure because of lack of development and Nokia's weak point especially venturing beyond Symbian.

Now you see your own point you make in between your lines of software failure?.

You hit the nail on the head here by saying "a small group of engineers" and once again your making the point of software failure.

The N96 was more of a finished product that had a lot of software upgrades which means better support BUT swap for N9? are you sure about this one?.
Remember the N9 is not out yet and i predict software failure once again due to negligence on developers PLUS the added fact that Elop has made it very clear indeed this IS the last Meego device and has made it also very clear the road he is on.... WP.

I can not and you very well know this and this point of yours is very clear to the future of Meego because of lack of developers.

Now do you see my point? and yes i will also be waiting the same as you !.

That is it.
Your saying this frequently now and once again i am in agreeance with you 100%.

I have as much right to "rant" as much as any other member on this forum and just because i am flamboyant in my views means i get known for my posts even if they are not in agreeance with other members but remember i STILL have that right ok.

That doesn't make you happy, then buy the WP7 phones. That doesn't make you happy? Then find somebody else. You have choices. You choose to not execute them and we, this community suffers for that.
This community is suffering because of lack of openess of Maemo and the lack of progress because of that very factor NOT because of me ok.
PLEASE understand i have the right to post just as you and everyone else on here.

I speak it the way it is and i have the capability of putting myself outside of the situation, the problem with that is we always come back to reality as nothing changes in this world for many many reasons.
This community thrived on developers working on CLOSED code and components and i say they all deserve a medal for doing so BUT they eventually got to the point it was not possible to get around code that is not open so they one by one gave up and moved on, THIS is my doing????.

WHY should i ? i love this community i love the work many members have done on here working against the grain in many circumstances and once again i say they deserve a medal for it.
NO i will not move away from the best community this world has right now !!! as NOTHING compares !!!.

BUT your trying to tell me that i do NOT have that right and that IS wrong of you to even suggest sorry to say but here we disagree .

TMO IS the best forum that exsists today and i very very hope it goes on way way beyond and past the end of contract with Nokia.

Even though i do not agree with everyone on here and neither do you by the way !!!, does not make me an "alien", this happens because posts like yours try to alienate me and guess what.... i bite back !.

All in all i love your posts in general and i very hope you do not mind that in the rare instance like this i have spoken against you in some part only as the most of it i am agreeing with you.
