I agree, judging by the images and specs it's just not the same class of device anymore.

I should have seen that one coming, I suppose. That tricksy letter "e" is taking over. "Dee-ablo", anyone?

Nah, too awkward and pimply.

Adding the extra "e" for "Freemantle" was fairly straight forward. Too easy, really. Working that rogue "e" into "Harmattan", a name that has none? That's going the extra mile.

ROFL!

Okay, make fun of the Hooked on Phonics kid, right? I just "sounded it out in my head", ok? q=

If I looked up the spelling every time, I would take forever to write out these excessively-lengthy posts. Oh and I should point out that spell check didn't have a problem with it. Of course this particular on-board dictionary is easily fooled...

"Fremantle" and "harmattan" (copy and paste)

I'd also like to point out that....SilverMountain started it (; , look at the thread entitled "Is Freemantle dead before it's out of the gates?"

I kid.

Also I'd like to point out that it's about a quarter to 8am in my timezone and I haven't slept.

And and Gordon Freeman. So there. You can't argue with Half-Life 2.

But hey, I welcome being wrong.
You say the polls are inaccurate and wasteful, and then claim Nokia doesn't care about this community based on images of a product and some sort of undefined "separation"? A little inconsistent in reasoning.

Of course Nokia is looking to move units-- but plenty of people in the company care a great deal about this community and its health. Many post here on a regular basis.

Separate thoughts.

My point was simply that the unless every active member replies I don't see the statistical relevance.

If everyone does reply (including lurkers and guests) then, once again, it's my foot wedged in my mouth (see the emoticon for a visual).

I personally find this to be a guide gauge of who is on:

On the Nokia thought/rant. I'm not brand loyal. I like my N810. I wish it had a faster processor. That is all.

But maybe I should just shut up. If that makes you all happy.
