I don't understand why they don't provide patches or test-packages for testing. They should mention in bugzilla the specific code-lines that are affected! Perhaps Nokia never heard of opensource.
You guys are forgetting something very important here in your (justified) anger: the tablets didn't start off fully open source. People complained. Nokia HAS listened. The last firmware was a significant step toward the goal of increased open source and visibility. You just don't see the full fruits just YET. Will it be total? No, and I think most here understand exactly why even if they don't necessarily accept it.

Nokia has asked for patience from the tablet owners. I realize many believe, rightfully so, that should not have to be patient. I realize there have been critical bugs (and MANY thanks to those who have provided outstanding input to Bugzilla). To that point, this sort of endeavor is a two-way street. Nokia is providing a handheld device running Linux; the obligation of those who enjoy the benefits of Linux is to provide detailed feedback. And please keep in mind absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence.

Patience. Better things ARE coming. I have not lied to you yet nor will I.

Appearances are deceiving. You guys are assuming very wrongly about maemo.

And how do you define "real", Mil?
