Congrats on this new release. For me, seeing the localization fixed is a big deal; you are polishing the project to the point where things are looking finished.

As for closed-source components: why don't we start with the assumption that if Nokia or the community doesn't currently provide a sufficient open-source alternative, we're going to need the closed-source component? By "sufficient" I mean a replacement that does everything that the closed-source component does, even if the interface is a bit clunky or something. The Flash player, for example, really doesn't have an alternative at the moment. The open source alternatives (gnash, swfdec, etc) just aren't fast enough for the tablet processor (at least not from my tests).
