I guess you could say that the next device will be very iPhone-like out of the box, with lots of lock-down, easy-to-use services and shiny apps, but it will ship with a vendor-approved way to "jailbreak" the device.
My issue is that we have to wait for the next device. Why couldn't nokia make it clear that it was it was a developer phone so that i didn't have to waste my money on the N900. If that isn't the best way to alienate a consumer I don't know
what is. And this is a N Series phone. That is horrible to think we would spend $1200 in one year. They need to update their website to say it is a developer phone. But they won't.
