You don't need a phone for a masses: Sure. And i don't want You to need. But the Community needs to understand, that if You want a platform to prosper - it needs to be available (in every meaning of this word) for masses, and not just for few geeks. Don't You understand, that even I, who insulted You, am a part of this fraction? And i'm proud of it! The problem is. that my, Your and any others pride cannot be sold for dollars.
You are wrong. A few facts: Linux is fragmented to death. This community is its own worst enemy. Nokia has only recently figured out what MOST people want, and it is not GHz monsters or Communicators or geeky N9XX, and MOST people couldn't care less about Qt or Linux or any other OS related stuff. MOST people simply want an easy to use farting phone.

YOU people here on this forum should stop caring about what Nokia should do to become popular. You should stop caring about apps. You should stop caring about market shares. You should start caring about what YOU want. If what YOU want is not a pocketable Linux box with phone functionality, then why are you here? If you want apps and games, why don't you get an iPhone?

Nokia + MS is going to be the thing YOU do not want, but the thing most people want. All I hope is that Nokia will continue to be Nokia, and continue to make at least some devices that are not 100 percent mainstream. If they make one cameramonster, one communicator and one N9XX each other year, I will be satisfied. You can rest assure, no one else is going to do it, they will all make mainstream farting and games phones.
