Why should we be non paid, non appreciated, non informed and non listened to Bug fixers, App writers and indeed customer relation managers. The majority of new personel on here from Sep last year onwards only did so after hearing about the Flagship device Nokia was releasing. The amount of times a thread has been answered with the time old "Next firmware release", "Be patient and Nokia will announce" and the best one "It'll be fixed in Harmattan". This device cost alot of money and indeed will be some peoples main phone for the next 2 years. To stop supporting it after only 1(ONE) month is not only rediculous but god damn insulting.

Anyway just my 2 cents....

Call me cooky, but thats a serious bug, and there is no update, I have the latest software version and they will not be updating it. So I am stuck with a $300 phone that reboots sometimes when people call it.

NOKIA - GET IT TOGETHER!!
Welcome aboard!!! The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Being elected to the council gave my voice no more weight. In fact you might argue I was more vocal and listened to more, prior to joining the council in September. Just because the council MAY agree with you, doesn't necessarily mean we can do anything about it. And like it or not, nobody cares if I quit the council.... Some may even be happy (you know who you are)
