Yea, same here, but we're talking about reality, aren't we? Device like You described can be available only in one situation - when "You" (I mean, group of people/foundation/whatever, not You personally) design it, order it independently, and write things for it. See Open Pandora o Raspberry Pi (both not a phone, I know, but You understand what I'm talking about).

Probably if you mean open drivers. But closed drivers could also work, the key is at least to have them. In most cases drivers for normal Linux simply don't exist, which makes usable ports close to impossible.

Samsung just seems to slap together the latest mobile tech and throw it in a black rectangle to create a new model. Very little testing it seems...

My next phone might just be this Samsung with Tizen, but I am hoping for other choices...
Yes, I find latest Samsung phones more bulky on feel, than N9. N9 is just a gem of hardware design. Why can't manufactures stop fooling around, and start competing on hardware? Just build a device, provide drivers to the community and that's all.
