Actually, I don't have a myspace page, JayOnThaBeat. I also don't have Facebook. Or Twitter, for that matter. But I programmed in the Unix shell before there was a Linux, and I used Perl before there were shelves of books dedicated to it.

I notice that you have been thanked 508 times, but you have nothing to say that is relevant to the point. You quote me returning the foul language of Bratag, but you have nothing critical to say about Bratag.

You're not a troll, though. You are a core participant here, and nicely represent the mainstream contempt for the consumer that seems typical of Maemo types. As Nokia cannot share such contempt in the long run, I conclude that Nokia has little interest in consumers actually using this phone. That squares with its refusal to associate the phone with T-Mobile in the US, thus meaning that there will be no phone-based technical support in the US. And, based on my reading, I expect that Nokia will not take consumers seriously until (perhaps) Maemo 6. Very well, I will tune back in when Maemo 6 is released.

So, continue tapping away in your echo chamber. Meantime, I have decided on a Blackberry Storm2 with Verizon. It has all the functionality that I need, is relatively stable, is dedicated to business users without outstanding connectivity, has abundant useful apps for my purposes, has wireless capability (about time), and is very secure. It will not drive a TV screen, and it has a primitive OS compared with Maemo. But it also runs on the US's best carrier and is a world phone to boot. And, its OS is a hell of a lot better than Symbian.

But then RIM doesn't know anything about marketing its phones. Oh wait....
