Oh come now.. I'm FatalSaint - you know me . You don't think I tried? I had the full SDK on my computer, compiled my own ROM's that I flashed on my own phone (I didn't get involved with xda-dev's as much as I did here with the N810 though.. I wanted to test waters first) - I wrote one or two tiny apps just to get a feel for it.

... I hated it. Like I said.. I'm just not a Java person I guess. The whole experience was just totally unique to that one specific OS and the vast majority of it totally useless in every other aspect of computers not Android related. The Java isn't even Java.. it's a specialized Java.

Anyway.. long story short: Yes, I've been there. Didn't like it.. far prefer dealing with Maemo and it's quirks over Android and it's. That is, of course as you said, my personal opinion and preference however.
