I bought a Motorola Droid, btw, not an N1. And I bought primarily as my PHONE--not as a replacement for my N800, although I'm quickly finding it to be a very capable replacement for many of the things I had used the N800 for. I would have PREFERRED a suitable replacement for my N800 so that I don't use the DROID (not N1) for those things, but I don't understand your hostility argument seeing as how Nokia has provided a cellphone instead of a computer and then crippled the OS through its tivoization and utter lack of attention to community concerns with its OS's.

What contract did I get forced into that I wouldn't have gotten with a Nokia N900? Subsidization of the Motorola DROID (not N1) is optional, you know.. I didn't HAVE to have any contracts and I can still buy my way out of it. That's CHOICE. Plus, I get walk-in support through Verizon stores for the hardware--Something I rather liked.
