It is not up to users to solve all problems for Nokia. But I guess we have different views on such issues. If that is they carry that attitude into their meego device then well....
It works on Nokiaīs testing devices and on mine and probably on many many users. If user chooses to install 3rd party apps that make widget not behave as they should then itīs userīs choice. Do you understand that you are able to fck whole system just by doing ONE edit in ONE config file or just installing single package from arbitrary webpage. No one, not single one is holding your hand and saying that "you should not do this and that thing because we know better".

I rarely see proper bug reports. More like: "Itīs not working please fix"..."Fix what?". And itīs always wonderful to see that when single user has problem, itīs THE most important problem in the world and of course all the other users are having this same problem also.

What are you talking about fully reporting? Off course itīs users problem if it starts to happen on his device when he has made some changes to system or installed applications. Users job is to give instructions as much as possible to help themselves because we are not talking about some car or washing machine here.

On the other hand I think that Nokia could have done better job on sanboxing widgets. On contrary this probably would have meant that they should be more closed down :| and not so widely usable as they currently are. Give devels free hands on fooling around and user come back to you because of bad quality of apps developed...nice :|
