@christexaport If money were no object I'd buy at least one @ texrat and others I didn't intend it as a slap in the face. I certainly don't have enough disposable income to buy one immediately even if I wanted one. I'm going on the assumption (as illustrated by the poll) there are people who will buy one immediately both inside this community (including some of those "core drivers") and out (I seem to see more new members posting every day). christexaport seems to suggest that at least in some other communities it will be welcomed and adopted. There have been a lot of posts about how we should expect an influx of new members once the n900 (hopefully) takes off. I assume that some of those people will be able to contribute substantially to the community in a variety of areas. A little new blood couldn't hurt could it? Some of those people may even become "core drivers". Surely in this open community we wouldn't get an "I've been here longer than you so my opinion counts more" attitude would we I also assume that if a community member really believes in the community, they wouldn't leave if they can't contribute to the Fremantle portion would they? There is still a lot going on in the m8x0 portiom (Mer for instance). I assume that once they can afford a new device they would start contributing in the appropriate areas. I apologize if I offended anyone, I didn't want to or mean to.
