He's actually got complaints about MeeGo being a bad phone, despite the handset UX not being out yet? Or do you mean Maemo?

Also, subsidies on devices are largely irrelevant since they're known to be required for success. The question is, at least in the US, will the carriers threaten Nokia with not carrying their devices if they decide to also sell them direct like they do now?

Or will we be stuck with crap like Google ending direct, unlocked sales in favor of getting AT&T and what not to actually carry them in stores?

He's so influential I had no idea who he was until his first pass with the N900, and mistook a conversation for being related to Warhammer 40,000.

I suspect he's influential among phone geeks, but I don't see his reach being much beyond that.
