I salute you as a perfect example of what is wrong with the youth of today.
If I had a solution - say, the code to fix some browser crash -, how would I implement and distribute it? It's Nokia's take. They have the repositories, they have the (closed) source code, they control everything and they do not allow access. The fact that we have some apps that fix bugs (fMMS, dialpad, FM Radio, etc.) makes it clearly that they are exceptions that can be treated separately.

If it was possible to deploy a solution, I wouldn't be complaining in the first place.

Besides, see what I picture as "unreality"? You say things like I'm the one in debt with the customers here. I'm the one who paid Nokia, not the other way around.

I have limited time, limited resources and if I help people and develop (free) apps, I do it because I like it, because I feel motivated and supported. Since Nokia is making it so hard to me to like this stuff, I don't do it.

Also, I'm no "youth". I'm 36.
