All I see is a bunch of undelivered, yet implicit, promises that a lot of folks around here somehow fell for (Nokia Reality Distortion Field?) and those that did not fall for it, they attack.

Those that still believe in it - they attack everything else.

Yet... I don't see very much to persuade me to believe in a damn thing they believe in. "It's the most open"... show me. I don't see 1/10th of the activity in terms of OS level hacks and development than I see at XDA-Developers. I mean, I just replaced the whole friggin' file system (RFS) to EXT4 and upped my entire speed on my Captivate.

I don't see 3D engines and apps. I see... well nothing.

For an open playing field, not much of anything is going on. PR1.2 and... that's it.

Instead of attacking, prove me wrong. Meanwhile, I'll be over here putting Android on my iPhone and modifying the living daylights out of my Captivate... there's a new Froyo firmware leaked out and I have to reverse my lag fix and revert from EXT4 before I do that.

Or I might go to a plain vanilla (sans TouchWiz) firmware and enjoy the lack of Samsung induced bloat.

I got real friggin' options. I don't see too many on the N900 besides sit... and wait... and hope.

And attack.

It's fun to see people with their own little mutual admiration society act so smug about people who happen to disagree with them.

I don't even know anyone "on the N900"-- what does that mean, anyway? Like being on heroin?

I'm enjoying my N900. I plan to abandon Nokia in good time, but in the meantime the N900 strikes me as pretty superior to what's out there. I don't know whether Nitdroid is really representative of Android, for example, but I've spent many hours trying to love Nitdroid, and I reluctantly notice my great relief when I return to Maemo and my N900 the way it was meant to be.
