This is never ending game of thieves vs police, police never wins
Police wins quite often. Sometimes even for long enough that the device is no longer relevant when the "thieves" eventually win back (IF they do).

This is basically a _very_ dangerous position. If "platform security" is any worse than the N9 this will basically not be the device that most people on this forum want. Because if it ls like the N9 it will already alienate quite a lot of the current N900 users....
And if they embrace "ad-supported" stuff they will surely embrace "carrier-supported" stuff. Which so far has implied heavy lockdown.
