I'm sorry to say, it's precisely that attitue that I am addressing. You know as well as I do that if Nokia was dependent on the Ovi store to promote the capabilities of the N900 - well, let's just say there wouldn't be much demand for the N900 . Maemo.org is it - the built-in application manager direcly links here. Don't be so disingenuous about the relevance of TMO to the "average" user. Also, try to avoid the superior tone, while you're at it. It's that I was adressing, too, as being a disincentive to the typical user. There is nothing about "putting yourself in the deep end" by visiting the mainstay of information regarding the OS of your phone. This
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/ is hardly a significant alternative, that I can see.

Please forgive my misspelling/misrepresentation of the brand name - call it an understandable error. As to what you're trying to imply by invoking the seperation of Nokia and Maemo, I can't folllow - Nokia depends on Maemo to do a job for them, i.e. to produce an OS that will satisfy the customer and exploit the strengths of the hardware - so if that isn't a team effort, I don't know what is.
