I think the more fingers on the device (and in some cases, eyes on the code) will likely make 1.1 better than had they waited to release the device until 1.1. I don't think Nokia has gone out of their way to promote this product to the masses because their initial target audience are their previous internet tablet customers. If there were frequent TV commercials for this phone and big carriers pushing it, I might be a little more concerned about the bugs this early on. Some people might not be happy about effectively paying a high price tag to be a beta tester, I'm happy for the opportunity, especially with the promise this device shows.

Look at the initial G1 Android phone. There was little to no promotion of the device to the mass market prior to its release. The initial devices had plenty of little bugs and annoyances followed by rapid improvement in the OS and apps. The follow-up Android phones (some of which are heavily promoted), and those G1 owners using community developed ROMs are now enjoying the benefits of more fingers on the device.

I obviously voted NO to turning my phone in for a refund!
