Indeed, no excuse, although I also think you'd be mad to buy an electronic device without having researched it first. The very fact you highlighted threads pointing these things out shows the information was already there. In some wys, people get a better quality of researchable material on here than for most devices.

You can't fault this community, there's really nothing like it out there. Great things will hopefully come from here with Meego.

I'm amazed at how many users are on here though and that Maemo even host something this large at all!

This was just an on-topic ramble by the way. It wasn't aimed at the OP.
