You know what? Phuck it. Canola2 isn't worth the hassle.

Anyone who gets this uptight over a media player ought to take a holiday.

Look - it was clear that Nokia's handling (their fault or Akamai - doesn't matter) of the OS2008 release was a screwup. That was fair warning that installing ANY application - Canola just being one of many - which relied upon that infrastructure was going to be a hassle.

There is nothing wrong with a development group focusing on what they do - development - while entrusting distribution (or packaging or printing or ...) to others.

Not to mention that this is a *beta* release...

Time to "man up" and start being polite, folks.
