I think you need to look at is as more than a device/gadget. As smartphones become more powerful, they become more than a communication tool, they become a piece of who we are. While it isn't perfect, and doesn't do all that we expect it should, we need to look at it like Nokia is providing us a house, and we have to gather our resources from our family (community) and make it a home.

I know it's not perfect, but I contribute my time and effort, because I want it to be the best it can, and I want to show it off. I don't know why but I have a "relationship" with this phone that goes beyond having a cool device. And being able to say that I somehow helped even in the slightest bit to make it better for others feels great.
