I'm not doubting that. I just hope this community doesn't fracture like the Zaurus community had done before it.

So many companies let their software languish but also never let the community step up and become heroes because they won't share the old code, even though it is old and the company has moved on. Has Microsoft released the source code for Windows 3.1?

But Nokia is opening it up! Win!
It's a "win"... but at what level? Enthusiast level will benefit, no doubt. But it means nothing to an average consumer that has yet to install the ability to obtain root or the other hacks on this board.

In the meantime, I have to bone up and learn a ton more from you guys in the community.

However, I feel as if I can still voice my opinion in regards to Nokia treatment of this position - it just doesn't make sense to me.
