No, we're not there yet, but you can hardly accuse Nokia of neglecting this issue.

True enough, credit to them for that.. but I can't help this nagging sense that I still won't see these mystical improevments. Like I said about the WiMax roll-outs, "I'll believe it when I see it." I hear there are people with WiMax.. but I still haven't seen it. It might as well not exist, for all the coverage it's rolled out so far. I'm getting this same sense here. I really hope I'll be proven wrong. Be ready to tell me you told me so if I end up being satisfied after all.

Certainly not--but it doesn't stop me from whining just the same as the end-user that just wants to actually and finally OWN the product I'd bought.
