Well, today is the last day for completing payment if you want this to be your xmas gift. I've decided to not go for the phone this year. Probably, late January or early February will do. I might watch how it evolves. If no substantial fw update is out, I pospone the purchase until June for sure. I guess that is enough time to fill the actual gaps in the OS. For minimal fixes there are always folks from the community, as seen from the glorious N900 era, but there is too much unattended stuff at the moment that requires some true hard work.
