I'm not that into phones, so you'll have to pardon me if I don't know the industry that well. But don't you think Nokia is doing something unique and fresh here? They've been doing this handheld open source computer experiment, and they're now trying to move it into the mainstream. They aren't taking phones and making them into computers, they're taking computers and making them into phones. The origin of this community is in OSS handheld GNU/Linux computers. Not phones. No Symbian to be found here. But this next step is the big one, and it's looking to be the most painful.

We get that the n900 won't be ready for mainstream primetime. But it's a process, and we're not going anywhere. We know what we have here. Good luck to you.
