No, it seems fair to call it that if I understand the point you are trying to make or ask me about. You want to know why I feel it is necessary to want something to replace my N800 that isn't an N900, correct? It sounded as if you were intending to convince me that I should be happy with what I have. That is, fairly, an idiot's argument. My sympathies that you took it as a personal attack. Feel free to take it personally, if you want, but it's not intended as a personal affront that infers that you are an idiot. It does infer that your argument comes across as a fairly incomprehensible one. Feel free to clarify, of course.

Again, feel free to clarify. It seems to me that I clearly responded.

I was on your team back in the day, I didn't want a phone on it - but because I didn't want it limited by Telcos. I wanted root. I wanted to play. Nokia addressed by giving me a phone - that is not limited... I just now have to sell my wife to slavery for the $560 it'll cost for me to get it. But damnit... someday..

Yeah, no.. that's okay. You can fiddle around with your phone and mangle it with your root access, if you want. I'll stick with having my phone for my important calls and my N800 to fiddle with until I see a desktop (Debian based, preferably) OS or something similar on a pocket sized tablet to replace it with so that I can mangle that while I depend on my phone for the work texts and family emergencies or without running out of battery from tinkering. Meanwhile, as I'd stated in another post, I'll enjoy the comforts of a full featured phone as an additional bonus, thanks anyway.

Yeah, I still like the idea of TWO--I didn't say a dozen--for all the rightful reasons I'd mentioned already. I'll bet you have two pockets and that it doesn't make you look too geeky to use them, right buddy?

Yeah, we seem to disagree on the whole ONE RINGER TO RULE 'EM ALL thing.
