You aren't reading what he said..

The N95, N96 and the iPhone are hack-job wannabe's that attempt to trick you into feeling a false sense of togetherness. A lot of work goes into to making it APPEAR transparent to you... but that doesn't mean it's actually transparent.

And still with the N95, N96 and iPhone you are locked into a specific carrier and stuck with a monthly bill on top of the $400 price tag that comes with it. With the N810 there is no monthly requirement.. and anywhere you find internet connectivity it does everything the N95, N96, and iPhone can do..

The N810 does it the right way, and i hope it continues, in that the device itself is a internet tablet starting point.. and anything else you want can be added - thus making a universal device. Want constant internet? Tether to a phone.. or in the next release maybe they'll make some form of insert chip/module that you can add to it - similar to the USB broadband modems running rampant in telco businesses now.. Want more software?? Load a new OS... Thus allowing the user to customize to their specific needs... not Nokia trying to guess what every user out there wants but allowing them to make it the device they want.

Freedom; not limitations; is the way a free, open-source, framework is supposed to be maintained. You're trying to stip the very reasons I prefer the N810 over something like the iPhone... Closed, locked down, require $$$ for everything, monthly payments....

Truthfully.. if the n96 and iPhone are your gig then great.. they are your gig and you can make suggestions for those developers to improve their platform... but don't try and get a completely different mindset to "improve" their platform by moving the direction of another platform.. The N810 is a wonderful device that is extremely unique in that it is essentially a Laptop that fits in my pocket. All I hope for is them to expand on the available software base for the default OS (which the community is helping in strides) - and the most important upgrades will be Better Hardware (CPU, memory, storage space, etc) while keeping it this size or similar. Nothing more need be added IMHO. With more stuff like Cell Phones come more restriction.. I get enough of being told what I can and can't do with the crap that I buy on a day to day basis.. I like the fact I can do whatever I want with my N810.
