Sorry, but that's a trite and cavalier slap in the face, lemmy.

No one I know volunteered to get hit with the economic crisis we find ourselves in. I'd much rather be where I was last year: in the "sure, I can afford that, no problem" set.

EDIT: Maybe I also need to point out that the typical FOSS developer/advocate is young and probably at the lower end of pay scales? That odds are most people entering this community won't be able to pay the alleged price of this device?

For Nokia's sake, I hope that assumption is wrong.
