At least there are some non-tech articles published:

Damn, now I'm sounding like those papers. Anyway, looking forward to the release of the N900.

"relatively favourable"?
More like an advertisement.
I'm glad they hype it, though. Not that I care about Nokia succeeding, but because I believe the N900 will further the goals of Free software and ultimately those of general openness and anarchosocialism.

Despite the ire of many who read this site, the n900 is a mainstream device. And will get the attention of the mainstream media. Major carriers across the globe are carrying it, reselling it and supporting it. The question is what kind of sales does the device need to be a success? 100k 500k, 1M devices in the first quarter (or month)? Nokia needs a win.

Furthering the goals of Free software and general openness is hardly an extreme opinion of the discussion boards of a (mostly) Free software and generally open system. And I think the anarchosocialism bit may have been somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
That said, the Telegraph being co-opted to the cause of anarchosocialism is an amusing idea.

Nokia needs a win.

Yes. The last bit was a joke. And not too funny or appropriate. Sorry. Won't happen again.

People have great tolerance for trolls from apple that came here to tease and very few for people that defend good causes.
