Not worth anger... Anger only hurts the vessel it is carried in. And as has been pointed out, it is just a phone.
That said, I'm deeply disappointed. I have owned every internet tablet device since the 770. I've been a member of this forum for a long time.
But this is the cost of being an enthusiast of cutting edge / niche platforms. Rarely do the things we want line up with the desires of companies that want to make a profit.
I was connecting to the internet with a handspring visor pro using an IRDA connection to my Nokia 3320 over a decade ago. And as cool as that was, Palm screwed up their market lead and nearly went out of business.
Nokia's pulled the development rug out from under me twice now, once with the native gtk stuff and now again with QT.
I don't like where the platform is going. It has a lot of potential but it won't make it to a polished user experience any time soon.
So now the question is Android or Palm OS, where to go next to try and find a home for my gadget tinkering needs. Looks like Android is more promising.
