It's all nice and well that you feel so much compassion for the needs of 'joe average'. i don't. joe's needs are being taken care of everywhere. he's in the center of attention. iphone is for him. android is for him. wp7 is for him. certainly we needn't be afraid that one day, companies will stop selling the crap joe average wants.

but why should i care? it's me who wants to spend my money on things i want.
Because people like you (and me) didn't help Nokia's bottom line. If people like you (and me) did amount up to a big enough market, Nokia would have pushed Maemo, finished MeeGo and everything would have been ok months, if not years ago.

It's irresponsible to begin to believe that this community, no matter how vocal and prolific in solving Nokia's problems are honestly a factor in anything that happened in the last few months. If so, explain MeeGo being announced a few months after the N900 was released. Explain how MeeGo hasn't made it out yet. Explain this move to WP7 by Nokia.

You can't. You can speculate, you can fume, you can be all upset as you want to be.

But the average joe just got shafted like this community did.

And now, the average joe has many other places to find their jollies meanwhile we have none (at the moment).

That's how much you (and me) counted. Not at all.

And I already ****ing know you have me on your ignore list. Don't care about that either.
