Nokia didn't let me down at all. They stuck a 'mobile computer' on the shelf in the form of an N900 and I bought one. I love it. It does exactly what they said it would do. Couple of minor bugs here and there, but it has an operating system that allows me to talk to all the hardware. I don't recall Nokia ever saying they would provide nice little GUI's to drive it all, but the hooks are there in the SDK if you want to roll something on your own.

It's NOT a phone, try to keep that in mind. Not only that, but many of you are complaining about things that Nokia have absolutely no control over - Flash 10.1 for example - get in touch with Adobe, Nokia aren't to blame. Pointing fingers in the wrong direction there.
Hehehehe, yeah I am passionate as I have been a Nokia consumer for such a long time, since the 5190's. Now this isn't about rank or who came first, but rather an expectation of good products from Nokia. Lately all I have seen from Nokia is alright products, to sub-par. I'm seeing the pattern the Nokia as a company is very short-sighted and doesn't really get behind good ideas. Nokia N-Gage and the ability to game on phones was a Nokia thing ... now EA and the likes have games coming out for the iPhone ... difference is that a company like Apple as much as they say they are clever, are rather more willing to risk it all on a product they believe for that they are visionaries not because they were the first. I see the N900 model being what the iPhone will be at 3-4 iterations from now, running a more PC like OS ... MeeGo is a restart of what Maemo5 already achieved what gives? Also with Symbian lurking around and not being fully banished to the nethers of cheap smartphones (ie. not N-Series) it doesn't convey a message of fully getting behind MeeGo. Yes it is not a phone but a mobile desktop, exactly why it should be eligible for a OS update. Phones get specs enforced on them, not mobile desktops ... think about that Nokia.

I am just wondering what is happening with Nokia. It is cautious, slow to release (Apple says this is the new phone, next week 600k should be ready in the mail, Nokia you wait 6months to 8), they are not as open as they proclaim, their communications/ PR is atrocious. They will support 4-5 mobile OS's ... kind of stretching themselves thin. The leadership must be crazy to put a giant like Nokia in this position.
