Exactly. Too much energy is going into pointing out where the iPhone fails. Nokia needs specific functionality to show for its efforts. The fanboys will do the work of comparing competing devices, as long as Nokia delivers hard to match features.

One way to hit Android would be to really go for the nerd crowd while remaining transparent to people who don't care. Why not start a Free repo on Ovi that would mirror Maemo Extras, so developers could charge for their apps without destroying the idea of a package manager and users could easily support their favorites? We might even start getting GPL games like that!

Then push that concept like hell on Slashdot, etc. Free software fanatics need to see progress too, which is why Android has so far received more attention than Maemo despite being less Linuxy.
