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.
Funny - i agree almost with everything.
This: "You ARE wrong" on the beginning. Seems we said the same using diffrent words.
N900 could be something more than niche phone but it's not. Not because Nokia abandoned it. But because of this "doing it other way, and don't give a f... about the rest" policy. There would be nothing wrong, if there was a farting app (answering some post above: it could be made by recording noises from toilet :] )for nokia N900. Noone would try to make You use it.

And Yes

It is huge problem, as you, MaddogG and few others presented before: i bet most of your friends are far smarter then i am (no irony here, really), you don't care about averages and You don't understand them (You don't even try). You don't understand, that for many ppl even running a game on an emulator is to big trouble - because it needs two clicks, not just one. Again, again and again. when u tern your back against them You will loose. As n900 lost. as maemo did.
