What kills me is that Nokia doesn't even have to provide an OS at all, if they bothered to sell us a completely open platform. If they simply said, 'Here.. here's a great piece of hardware and here's the whitepapers for all the hardware, some sample driver code... HAVE AT IT!', they could have put more of their resources toward making EXCELLENT hardware and could have no given a damn about how the OS was turning out and it would have looked a lot more like the desktop Linux platform where businesses bought the hardware for their utility and the individuals bought it as an enthusiast's platform to develop as a possible solution for their fellow users.

Ugh. Whatever, man. Nokia missed such good opportunities so badly.
