Its a video answer to Megacrazys complains in the first post..
Everyone reading this thread should watch the video Breece linked to.

Megacrazy, I hope you get your issues resolved. I thought it was cool that you wanted this device enough to bargain for an earlier spot on the waiting list. But what's up with your attitude in this thread? For starters, the title is inflamatory. But then there's this comment:

What's with everyone trying to punish Nokia for past sins??? Maemo is different. It is not just "another unpolished product"! That is an absolutely ignorant statement!

Maemo is new and it is a bold experiment. Why not celebrate the fact that Nokia is the only major phone manufacturer giving us an OS this open (e.g., root access without jumping through any hoops, etc.). Nokia readily states that Maemo is at step 4 of 5. That's not an excuse. It is the reality of turning Linux into something that retains the power of the desktop but runs on a phone-sized device. No one else has managed to do this (including Google), so if we want this bold experiment to succeed, let's acknowledge that it is not a trivial undertaking and let's appreciate what Nokia has done so far.

For me, the worst possible outcome in the world would be for Nokia to be discouraged from future Maemo development due to negative customer feedback. That would suck beyond all belief.
