Yes, fanboyism stinks. But can you really avoid it anywhere? I'd urge everyone to really try and see the shades of grey.

I was mostly talking about the out of the box package. I honestly think that some people might be better off with something else for now. There are features missing, rough edges, annoyances and I don't think anyone here is denying it? But people seem to get offended if they are (often realistically) suggested that maybe this iteration isn't the best for their use case.

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly.. so do you really think that Nokia or the Maemo team isn't constrained by time and resources? Of course they are. I'm 100 % sure they didn't leave all this stuff out because they thought it wasn't needed. It's balancing between when to release and what to put in. Now what you _can_ argue is whether they should have released it later with more features implemented. This is a matter of opinion and there are good arguments on both sides.

This is another case where things just aren't black and white. Just food for thought.. What if Firefox missed the planned release date? Do you think there'd be something in the league of 10000 angry messages on their boards and people proposing class-action lawsuits like here? Do you think Nokia's and Mozilla's business models and competition are similar enough so that you can just compare the practices 1:1? I don't think Nokia is keeping information on themselves just to piss people off but I'm most certainly not saying there's no room for improvement.

You can find quite a bit of information about stuff brewing at Nokia that is publically available, so it also isn't quite right to say that Nokia isn't telling about their future plans.
