Yes, agreed, and it s seems that it s when the community starts to be very p-o about lack of feedback on the urgeing issues that things seem to move. well at least on this forum.
The problem might be that the community will always lead in this kind of OSS environment. That can be scary for the number 1 cellphone giant, litterally owning Symbian. Nokia ships one million phones a day....
OTOH, Linux environment may be the future.
IMHO, this is essentially an interface problem between the community and Nokia.

How would a car manufacturer do if its design/maufacture/market flow was "Open Source"?
