Or I get a WinMo phone... See above.

Or I get an Android Phone.. which - I don't hate Google near as much as Apple or WinMo, so in this case I won't feel like I need to commit suicide... but I do hate the actual OS. It's like.. Linux done wrong. I don't like the way google took a good framework.. dismantled it, and put it back together with all new parts that IMHO.. suck. (I'm not a Java fan...) Arguably, Google sucks equally bad at supporting their phones too (being just one: Nexus One).

Or I get Maemo... an Operating System that actually feels second nature to me, is powerful, and brings my home computer with me everywhere I go. But, then I deal with lackluster (if not downright crappy) business decisions that directly affect the usefulness of my phone.

So really... tell me: Where am I supposed to take my money to make anybody change anything? I mean.. I do need a cell phone here.. I can't exactly not own one...
You know fatalsaint, you and I are in a similar boat. And sadly we have to make sacrifices sometimes. Just like there's no device out there that has all the hardware I wish it had, maybe there's no one OS out there that has all of what I want.

So the only solution is to move back to carrying two devices. But hey, at least you get the benefit of longer battery life by seperating the functionality.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
