da*m you nokia, da*m yous all to hell!!!!

if only they have... well:
Not hired elop
Continued making devices like the N900... there are seriously still nothing that comes close if you ask me.

And OP, good post, really good post, really captures many things that what i call dumb phones can't do, now and again i think about getting a newer device/phone because of bigger screen, higher res, CPU & RAM, but then i think about having to "live" with android.... no way, that would really limit what i can do....
Oh and they are dumb phones when you need others to make programs (apps.............) to get them to do anything, we can strip ours down to terminal and still do pretty much anything (of course with the optional GDM )

How did i even get by before i got my N900???

I will say it again, only way to move forward at some point is to build our own device OR hope that when UBUNTU comes out with phone/tablets they make something like the N900 with full ubuntu on it, i could really dig that
