I'm not interested is who is or isn't to blame. The fact remains that I'm still going to have to keep/maintain another computer and the fact remains that I am upset about it. That doesn't mean that I don't like Nokia or that I don't like the maemo community. It just means that I'm going to have to lug more than I want to for awhile longer and I'm disappointed because I (justifiably) thought the N900 would change that. Furthermore, it's good that I am communicating that I am upset because it will help Nokia do a post-mortum analysis. Lastly, by emphasizing that Nokia could help by issuing a statement about when we can expect a device without this shortcoming I am providing them with the information they need to help maintain a sense of community.

Those who are saying that I won't have to carry around extra things are just wrong. Those who are saying that all I have to do is simply carry around a separate computer (e.g., qole) are correct, but that is exactly what I just said I am disappointed about. For those who want me to stop being disappointed, stop pushing your values up my throat.
