That kinda doesn't matter to me. I hold some nostalgia for Nokia and Apple, but each at their own time, they have failed to give me the device I wanted on a schedule that I wanted.

2.5-3 years ago, Apple came up with 2 devices that were neat, but not what I wanted. And they pretty much made it clear that they wouldn't ever be the devices I wanted (no access to the unix layer, closed and semi-closed application ecosystem). So, rather than buying the iPhone or iPod Touch, I looked for a device that DID give me what I wanted. And that's how I wound up with an N800, and later an N810.

Great choice, and I loved it while it lasted. But last year, I realized that what I wanted, and to some degree needed, was 1 pocketable device ... not two. For that, I needed Nokia to give me a Maemo phone. At that time, it didn't look like they'd be going that direction, certainly not any time soon (and, I was right: it has been a YEAR). So I started to look elsewhere. Though that process, I wound up with a G1.

The fact that Nokia may now release the product I wanted doesn't make me regret buying the G1. It was the right decision for me at the time, and it mostly does the job I want (more so than a 2 device solution was). Waiting around for company A to get off their duffs while company B has a perfectly useful solution is just a waste of false loyalty, IMO.

Do what makes sense NOW, not what MIGHT makes sense 3 months from now, IF Nokia maybe does what you want.
