ever heard about wikipedia?

(hint: look at the sources)

there is a simple reason why step 4 thing isn't mentioned in the marketing places (this is where "research before you buy" derives...)

not everyone checks Wikipedia and it's not fully accurate anyway. I mean, the guy's point was that it should've and would've been Nokia to put up this critical information and not rely on Wikipedia to inform the users. It's kinda the wrong way round, dun u think?

Sure it's a 4/5 step device. I knew this as i did my research be4 i bought it. But im sure the majority aren't happy with the way that Nokia is supporting its users right now. Whatever happened to the flash 10.1 as promised?? They drop a majority of its support and the fact remains is that people are dropping it for another device.

I haven´t been up to date either, but a quick glance over at the Wiki page taught me it´s open source since februari 2010.

I can´t help but wondering, after reading this thread and your comments, what you yourself are able and willing to contribute to such a project as porting Symbian to the N900. You talk about "we", yet you get angry at anyone who gives a bit of opposition to your expressed ideas. If there is such a thing as "we", regarding this particular idea of yours, how come you seem to have so much trouble taking a bit of criticism? I suppose you are aware that a lot of people who own the N900 are higher than average tech-savy people that tend to be fairly critical at any technology being thrown at them. That´s how they became tech-savy... So I guess my question(s) would boil down to this: what kind of road map do you have, in terms of specs and requirements and how are you going to win people over to this project in order to help you?

Well, i don't have any sources and never said i do. But i did say that Googling for Nokia N9 showed results that it's possible to be a symbian device. But after u told me that it is a Meego device, Googling around showed that as well. But anyway it doesn't matter, until the full specs and info gets released, it could be either. Anyway, that was just my example which doesn't count anymore, but my other points still stand valid.

As for the project thing, i'm just talking about me a bunch of my m8s try to port this ourselves. I'm not by all means asking anyone on this community to help me, nor am i saying that i'll be making this whole thing public. It'll just be a private thing. But i posted this idea in the first place just asking people if it's a good idea for Nokia to do this themselves since it'll be much easier if they do, since they're familiar with their own devices and Symbian.

And criticism is ok but it has to be constructive at least. If u read on page 1, those people that criticized aren't constructive at all. Those comments are pointless and i consider those spam. Maybe u should read properly next time.

Not to mention that the very same guy "atilla" spammed my topics twice in the last 2 days. In the other topic, he simply jumped in randomly during this argument i had with another guy and posted

"F.U.C.K
Y.O.U.R.S.E.L.F"

and u call that criticism huh?

and i don't even mind. But what i replied was targetting at "atilla" mainly. I don't mind a few criticisms here and there but that very same guy spammed 2 of my topics in 2 days, in the other topic he simply jumped in out of nowhere and told me to F* myself basically. It was random as hell, as i was having this argument with another guy and he just spammed my topic with comments after another, and now spammed this topic as well.

If u actually READ from page 1 to 4, u'll see our back & forth replies.

But w/e, i dun give a **** anymore.
