The thread is specifically about Windows phones. Hence any opinions should be welcome. People dont care how open phone is, people dont want a phone that will have a seizure, reboot often, not being able to lock GPS fast enough, not mix conversation threads, have easy keyboards, adjustable fonts so that grannys can read on size 18 font, and screen resolution that makes reading crystal clear and camera that will give them nice pics.

That is what 99% of the people like. And NOKIA needs to pay bills, so it needs to cater to 99%. The less than 1% that wants open phone, and ability to tinker should be happy that NOKIA gave them the devices it did. Tinker away and dont complain. Unfortunately N9 and n900 have problems. They cant please 99% of the population when competition offers a better product for the 99%.
