I commiserate with you dja...
and likewise I'm not trying to troll...
but jellyroll didn't have it completely correct either...
"€ 1200,- = Nexus5 + Jolla + N9 + N900" isn't correct.
the n900 alone ...was 600+ Euros ..
and that was more than 5+ almost 6 years ago now.

How much is (on par) the same quality of cutting edge device 6 years later ...?
Take into account as well...that the device instead is ..created by a very small independent ...aiming (higher still) than what the original was conceived to be and ..far-and-away from what corp. smartphone competitors are doing.
Competitors are going in the opposite direction to what the neo is heading in..
Competitors are aiming at locking things down tighter still...

Too many threads at TMO ..
from alternate os's..all the way down to games ..
I have seen the same statement over and over...
since the n8x0 on up to the n900...
"Can't go any further to make [whatever] work... prop. blobs..."

How much is it worth in such a locked down world to have an open device?
