Yes, of course. Because that point is irrelevant and a waste of time. Look up the definition of "red herring" if there's any doubt.

Yes, reasonable expectations are the same thing as an assumption. But not an unjustified assumption, rather a *reasonable* assumption!

And it's precisely in terms of reasonable expectations that the Nokia internet tablets seem to fail so dismally. Yes, they are capable of amazing things. And yes, they persist in botching the simplest and most commonplace tasks. Defend their shoddiness all you like, but it's still not good. All these legalistic excuses will not convince me!

Again, bear in mind that I'm a loyal (if reluctantly so) N800 user. I carry it with me all the time. It's taken most of a year to get it to do about 75% of what I want it to do, but it still beats any reasonably-priced competitor I've seen. Still, to deny the obvious problems, simply because what any reasonable person would expect was never specifically stated as a binding promise... well, it's childish, foolish, and worst of all counter-productive to any hope of having the blunders corrected!

Now, if you'll excuse me, an alarm is sounding on my N800. Oh, never mind, it was an alarm to remind me of a meeting that took place last week! How fortunate that working alarms were never _promised_ with the N800, eh!
