This is how I think of it too, but I think that is a use case, isn't it?

As a user of a small pocketable computer you have very specific needs that some users won't. And yet you persist as being a niche. And a very good one, if Nokia knows how to please you. Because the moment it delivers you a small pocketable computer experience out of the box that you're satisfied with, it will have a device ready to take over huge market niches that are currently in doubt between netbooks, umpcs and so on so forth.

So if I were Nokia, I'd be listening to you just as carefully as I would be listening to the Iphonesque-features-have-to-be-there choir.

Now try and please them both.

One of the cool things about being a mammoth as big as Nokia is that they're one of the few companies in the world who can, if they apply their resources correctly and cooperate with the community accordingly. Honestly, I've seen them doing both (Quim and Rainar are here to prove that every single day), and not doing them as well. Let's see what happens from now on.

Alea Jacta Est.

(And a sincere good luck to Nokia. A ferociously eager community like this to take on (and don't even think of not trying to understand what these guys want, it will be your doom ) and a lot of consumer minds to read on the other end at the same time. Honestly, good luck )
