1. if Nokia could make as much money as apple on Apps - they would. They are a commercial business and need to make stockholders happy - period. 2. Nokia seems to have found a new working trend. Release a Beta Product. Do a few incremental upgrades. Then after 6-12 months do a real update so the device can actually do what it was meant to do and release a "MINI" version at the same time. So I guess if I'm right V2 is about 8-10 months away and N900 mini will be launched. (For those who do not know - that above was the tale of the N97) Well here is what it meant to my "first mover" friends. Many of them bought the device when it came out (N97) they then got so angry with the bugs - that they ALL (we are talking 12-15 people) - moved to iPhone that covers most of their needs. Some of them have iPhone 3G - Some got 3GS. But speaking to them now - they have no intention on changing. The average "First Mover" is actually quite happy with their iPhone - and the ones who got the 3G - have not upgraded to 3GS. They still look hungry at new offerings (they are first movers after all) - but they are contempt with the phone they have and won't change UNLESS something comes along that will impress them as first movers. I DO NOT care about OS wars - Windows, OSX, Linux/distribution, Solaris, DOS, Windows Mobile, Palm, Android etc. But what I do care about is my Phone can do basic stuff like Exchange email, send sms's, use USSD (* commands), use voicemail. What I LIKE to have is VPN with Default gateway to VPN server on ALL networks, VoIP working in background so it is loaded all of the time - and a phone I can rely on. I do not care if you call it a computer, I don't care about OS, I care about usability and interoperability and convergence . I don't even care who makes them (apart from child or slave labour) N900 scores high on convergence - but usability and interoperability - is the weak points. Not that it does not have it. It is just not up to Nokia Pedigree - and the competition beats it hands down in those areas. If iPhone had a SIP client that would run in the background - it would probably cover my needs. But since it does not - I try to find ones that does. But with Nokia it seems like you have to read BETWEEN the lines to figure out what it CAN'T do (yet) - and not trust the consumer oriented marketing coming out of Nokia about the N900. Sour grapes - yes - but Nokia needs to stop the N97 tactics before every first mover sits with an iPhone in their hands. (replace iPhone with "Android", "WebOS", "Windows Mobile 7(sic)") or they will have some pretty sad shareholders.
