JavisPedros very succint summary of the Nokia marketing process
If you dont like this process, move onto another brand.
Nokia will not change while this spins $$$ for them (hey it worked for 4 devices already !)
I wish more ppl were cynical on TMO and less evangelists were around - would have saved many newbies from getting burnt.

You don't seem very blissful.
I just dont like it when people side the corporations even when its obvious that the corporation did something wrong. Unless your are a Nokia empoyee and then your subjectivity would be logical.

You do understand that in the 5-step-plan, only step 5 would be a mass-market product that is ready for the average end user. step 4 ist not considered ready for the mass market (or the typical end user). - this is where your analogy fails: yes, every consumer electronic product is a step to the next... but only very few are designed to not reach the mass market, to not please the crowds, to be an incomplete concept device for geeks and enthusiasts. This is the one point that you didn't get.
Who's accountable for what?

Something along the lines of
"This is a device for beta testers. Any bugs found and reported will most likely not be fixed, and in the cases where bugs are fixed they will most likely be only available on the next version of the OS which incidentally will most likely be engineered to be incompatible with this device so as to encourage you to dump this device as soon as a new one comes along - whenever that might be"

It's a newly forming open source world, and Nokia has put themselves on the bleeding edge of it. Have they done a good job? I'd give 'em anything from a C- to a C+. If they'd release all their Maemo source (the ultimate support), I'd give them an A-. There's no magnetometer in the n900, so they can't get the A.

does an n810 can get easily into your pocket? no.
does the n810 has cellular radio? no.
arnt those two characteristic crucial? arnt they alone enough to change the device definition? i choose yes, you choose no.
so lets agree to disagree.

All times are GMT. The time now is 22:37.
lets go together of the DICTIONARY definitions of the word raw!
which definition do you think I had in mind?!
I think they are the same.
so as Thomas Gray once said, "ignorance is bliss".
EDIT: just wondering, in which section of an electronics store is the n900 is being sold in? computers? tablets? NO! hence your point is invalid!
