I guess that my problem with that is people like me. I'm not quite 'Joe Average', and expect my IT to work for its houseroom. On the other hand, I've never tackled anything linux before, and not being a progammer am unlikely to ever cut it as a developer.

Right now, it's people like me nokia need on board: people who're half way between 'Joe Average' and 'Full Blown Geek'. And in part the question of whether I get on board is dependent on the community. Unfair though it probably seems, we need you to assure us that the wizzy apps will come - at least the basic ones we need.

The plus side of that is that us 'geek-lite' types make great evangelists, as we can show off what we've learned and enthuse in language accessible to Joe Average.

Nokia have put a fair amount of effort and investment into getting this far. If they're going to get their investment back, they need enough handsets to sell - at least enough to convince shareholders to continue to 'step 5'.
