What I absolutely cannot understand, as a use case, is wanting to use the N**0 with a DVD drive. Sure, it's fun in a geeky sort of way (and I'm sure many of us who had the original 770 connected it to a vast array of peripherals), but no one seriously expects Nokia (or any sane company, for the matter) to cater for the bizarre eventuality of someone saying that they do not want to rip their CDs or DVDs but want to lug around the drive and connect it to their phone. It might be interesting as a side project, and it may even give some useful by product, but calling it a dealbreaker is... well... stupid.
Yeah I would appreciate it if nobody else posted whining, this-is-a-dealbreaker nonsense. We've got several hundred of those posts now. Yeah we get it.
