No, what I mean is that the device is advertised with a working browser, Adobe Flash, etc. You'd then expect security and reliability fixes for such software. Many corporations don't provide them quickly (Microsoft, Apple), but it seems Nokia doesn't provide the Firefox and Adobe Flash security patches at all. They simply stop providing firmware updates after a year, and I believe this is not according to EU law because according to this a product should remain functioning for 2 years (and ever afterwards, too). Mind you, I am not asking about new features.
