What are you talking about? You don't have to root an Android device to get a terminal. You have to root an Android device to gain root access. You can just download the official Android Terminal (or any number of third party terminals) if you want. Once you get root access, you can install busybox to get a better shell with more commands, though... maybe that's what you meant. I agree, though, while the Maemo-faithful continue to hold strong to their faith and counting the days on their prayer beads for the day their almighty savior MeeGo comes out to redeem their souls and save them from the evils of Google, iPhone, Blackberry and everybody else they think is the devil... the Nokia competitors continue to actually innovate and improve their devices and push into the year 2011, while the most advanced smartphone Nokia has, the N900?, remains stuck in the year 2009. And you wonder why I suggested that Nokia might be behind the curve? Even Apple has at least hinted that they're working on "the next thing" and people can generally guess what that means and feel assured that it'll be competitive. I don't sense that most people feel the same confidence in Nokia, I fear. I certainly don't. Do you think Nokia is better not to address such concerns? Do you think they're not concerned at all? Do you think that Nokia can maintain its current perch at the top of "the most smartphones sold" over the next year or two with their current method of operating? How do you think Nokia could do better, or do you think they're doing just fine?
