And neither does it answer the point that Nokia are spamming every other Nokia user, not just N900 owners, with involuntary subscriptions and incessant unwanted SMS, including to those who have long since moved to another brand, with no easy way of opting out.

This isn't just a Maemo/Meego issue - its a deliberate policy by Nokia across the board that flies in the face of direct marketing anti-spam legislation and accepted codes of practice (particularly the continued lack of an Unsubscribe or STOP option in the messages despite the numerous complaints from customers past and present). Hence why the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has now commenced an investigation into Nokia Australia Pty Ltd about potential contraventions of Australia's Spam Act 2003.

Nokia's lack of response to the complaints and refusal to cease and desist this practice is pretty ironic considering their positioning of MyNokia as a service intended to improve communication, customer relations, and customer loyalty. In the face of the competition they are already marginalised and on the backfoot with mediocre hardware and too-late software overhauls. Hardly the time to be creating further brand loathing by stupidity such as this.
