I do think that he makes a good point in that this is like a 1.0 release in that there is going to be a lot of room for improvement. Maemo is far from a mature product as a phone and it will take some time for it to be. After seeing all the issues Android went through, that shouldn't be a shocker. It also shouldn't be a shocker that a device that lets you do more is going to show you additional flaws.

Personally, it looks like it is going to be what I want, since phone functionality is somewhat secondary. I don't live on my cell phone and often it spends a lot of time off. That being said, I could used a portable computer which I can do some web browsing and other functions that need a computer. I expect that things will improve as times goes on.
