Sorry, but I just don't see it the same way at all...
In 6mth you'll be looking at a commercial/FOSS ecosystem that's more successful than the N900 was at the same point.
Despite having much of it's oxygen stolen by the WP strategy, & a lingering Symbian.
Based on everything we know, common sense favours that IMO.
Of course nothing like it could've/should've been, but better than we were with the N900.
Anyway this is getting too off-topic for this thread...
We have the water-cooler thread for such debates:
