I find it interesting to observe the corporate cognitive disconnect that permits Nokia to implement a plan to use their R&D devices to build a strong community around their future flagship platform while simultaneously doing everything they can to kill that community with each successive hardware revision.

Nokia isn't a company so strapped for cash or personnel that it couldn't managed to ship both a capacitive and a resistive device side-by-side. Thus appealing to at least 50% more users.

Nokia's hedging on this platform may yet be the death of it. . . .
