First, why is everything I said 'invalid'? Could it be because you've missed my point entirely?

Second, I understand you are concerned about the openess of the N900 hardware not of Maemo/MeeGo. Why can't you understand Nokia does not have total control over that? And why are you complaining here instead of to those who do control the various closed drivers Nokia does not?

Third, while Nokia's actions so far may not be up to your standards, can you name another major manufacturer of mobile devices with a better attitude toward open standards? Seems to me that with Maemo, now MeeGo, open-sourcing of Symbian and support of open Qt and open-source in general that Nokia is pretty much the open-source leader in mobile devices.
