Please, Dan, that's a tired, misguided and mistaken refrain. I would kindly ask you to drop it but I'm afraid you'd take the request as proving your point.
Ouch! Caught in a Catch 22! It may be truly tired but I assure you that it's neither misguided nor mistaken. I've seen it happen plenty of times over my years here. If you must impose, and if I can find some time, perhaps I can dredge up some examples for you? No wait... hang on, I might have something for you... hang on...

Maybe enough times that it shows up on search engines whenever Maemo or Nokia comes up so people can be well informed before they head out to buy something just to show up in the community to be told that perhaps they should have researched their device better? Ironic! I'm sure you can Google up all the times members have been told that.

That's noise. It serves no productive purpose. If that's all the malcontented posters here want to do, then one of them needs to create a Nokia hate forum and have at it.

I'm tired of it, geneven.
So negative opinions and observations, especially criticism (however constructive, and however right it's been proven over time now) is unwelcome here? It might be noise to some but had it been listened to when there was less of it, there might have been far less of it now. Even if the Nokia mothership doesn't want to listen directly to its customers or to the Maemo forums, eventually things said here HAVE to be making it to them. They're already mattering, whether they know it or not.
