Texrat: Yeah, I'm aware of the pros and cons of opensource products and development. My point was, the end product that the NIT is supposed to be (which clearly it still isn't now), should be held to the same standard as other competing products

Maybe for linux developers and hackers, it's already a dream platform at the moment. But unless the NIT can tap into a larger audience, how long will Nokia keep this up?

PS: For those people that are hating the slide-out keyboard without seeing and trying it out first, I wonder if they would know what they're missing if given the new tablet with the keyboard welded or superglued shut.
