Going with the app theme here...

You may still feel that you are left wanting with certain apps on the n9 as you wait for them or an open-source equivalent to arrive. With the android and iOS devices you will find their apps waiting for you.

However with the community support that has been described above, you will find many of the apps are created with the user in mind. You will often see most of them first in a testing or beta form where the developers ask for user input. This means that you can often have a direct contact for any features you may feel that need to be added or offer a constructive criticism to what is offered.

In my experience with the TMO, and the n900 (soon to add the n9 too), you will have the help of our community to hand. If there is any new program released there will be full transparency with their apps. Then of course you have the freedom to create your own and share them or place in the ovi store, if you can create your own.

I guess my question is, would you like to be apart of an eco-system where you consume apps or be apart of a community where you have the chance to help others help yourself?
