Agreed. (although web-based chat apps tend to piss me off more than built-in...but Pidgen kills 'em all dead when it comes to the N800)
And so far Nokia has been screwing up big-time on the IT marketing front.
Hell, I'm still pissed with their Windows-only mindset, but they are trying to get Mac apps in there for their S60 devices though. No love for Linux either even though their Internet Tablet line is based on it.
But hey, now Apple's starting to feel the pressure as their entire iPod line now looks more segmented than ever, much like Nokia's product line looks now.

Now THAT'S what Willis was talkin' 'bout!
Nokia should actually be rewarding those of us who take the time to file bug reports and play around with their beta software as well as their buggy/clumsy tablet applications. Some of you out there are a hell of a lot more active in submitting bug reports than most and those should be singled out for praise by Nokia itself with a free phone and/or next-gen tablet. That starts word-of-mouth campaign that all the PR money in the world can't buy.
