It's the continual refusal to acknowledge the USB port is an issue and to just fix it like Microsoft does for RROD.

Oh and they stiffed me the $50 they still owe me for the rebate.
I'm just offering one rationale why some of us stick with this over-extended experiment.

But I'll confess here and now: I'm at my wit's end, too. At least as a Nokia employee I could act as a user advocate and had direct channels to those who could improve things; on the outside the best I can manage is as a community council rep, and despite serious effort on all of our parts we still struggle to improve Nokia-community communications, much less get a real seat at the table (blog article brewing).

There are plenty of times lately I'm ready to say "Screw it: Android is awesome. Time to move on." But as one of the original Internet Tablet team my stubborn pride keeps me doing what little I can to make this insanity sane.

Regardless, abject griping is a waste of everyone's time-- most especially the griper's. Amazes me that some can't see that.
