It's beginning to grate on me, these hints of "if only you've seen what I've seen" just give me the mental picture of a blind-sided nokia R&D team frantically back-engineering the latest apple product
Your perception couldn't be more offbase.

Enthusiast? Yes. Blind??? By no means. I am well aware of the tablets' shortcomings and Nokia's missteps, and have acknowledged them over and over again in this forum.

If you want to find blind devotees, look at the rabid Apple fans (a little irony there). If you want more objectivity, pay closer attention to what I write, and try not to apply too much bias.

And I'm sorry if the hints grate on you. Based on the feedback I've received, you're in the minority, and I tend not to pander there. As I've told the few hardcore malcontents here (not saying you are one), if anyone has any trouble with me or what I write, the Ignore feature works very well.

Oh, and I'm nowhere near R&D... unfortunately.
