Of course my next phone will be another Nokia.

I´m very happy with Nokia phones and I had the first Symbian phone (Nokia 7650). After that, I bought Nokia 7610, Nokia N93 and Nokia N93i.

Today I have Nokia N900 and Nokia E71.

My plan is to replace the E71 to E72 and I´m also thinking in Nokia N8.

First, I pointed out that I have a Droid. Not an Apple. But yes, I have insurance on the phone such that if I threw it against the wall, I can get it replaced immediately.. face to face.. at any VERIZON store. I got it replaced once already because it was lost/stolen. Even months later, that's covered. You pay extra--but it's worth it. I don't know why you keep saying Google when the handset is sold by Verizon and that IS the whole point of their insurance (in case it's lost/stolen or damaged). Google makes the OS, not the handset nor the store I walked into. Motorola makes the handset, but Verizon is the vendor that sells it and has provided me with excellent physical presence and customer service. I can't say Nokia has EVER provided any level of acceptable customer support so far for ANY of the products I've bought with their brand on them. Nokia doesn't sell the N900 in any kind of a vendor where there is insurance available and I can't even get Nokia to provide me with support themselves. That's part of the whole problem from soup to nuts. Nokia has no presence and no support. When you call them, it's a much more insulting and frustrating experience than I've ever had with any other vendor or manufacturer.

You're smart and you know what's what--but you haven't truly shared in the experience until you've blown money on it and had to call for help or waited a month or two while your expensive phone disappears from your possession for all that time. So, confidence from your fellow N900'ers seems a bit strained. On the other hand, I can't say you don't understand the problems. You're clearly aware of them.
To be honest I purposely struck a low blow because I didn't like his response. Not that I thought he was a crony.

That is pretty normal.. I got about 500 meters from my home to the store i bought from.. in case i wanted to replace it or what ever. Insurances could be bought for any mark. It doesn't make the support for one mark better than the other. You get about the same deal depending from whom you buy the insurance. My nokia n900 is covered in my home insurance for example. If i'd like i could get a special from the store i bought it from. They tried to sell me one.

Maybe, but there's also a nugget of truth to the fact that people might feel disconnected because of that fact. It's one thing to get a free unit as a developer--people are with you for that. It's another to get a free unit as a blogger writing about the consumer's experiences--people don't feel as connected with that type of blogger even when they're accurate.

Nope. Sorry, they don't sell N900's in any store out here where you can get any such replacement insurance. You can only find online vendors--nothing face-to-face where I could buy an N900.

Hell, when I bought my N800 a few years back at CompUSA, I spent the money on a 2-year replacement insurance. Then CompUSA went bankrupt and they all closed down. So much for that. Next, dealing with Nokia became an incredible hassle.

Im 70% certain I'll be moving to Android for my next handset, if only so I can develop in a language I enjoy (Java), but I genuinely wish MeeGo a lot of success. I think if I could pick up a MeeGo handset cheaply I would give it a chance, as I would like to keep up with all the developers and projects I enjoyed learning about on here, I would have no interest at all in going back to a Nokia Symbian handset.

I also hope Nokia will do a discounted MeeGo handset scheme for all the active developers on here, similar as was done for the N900. Unfortunately for me I have the towering Karma total of 12, I believe it required 200 to be eligible last time, so I doubt I will be able to apply for it anyway

You know, I think the N800 has the absolute minimum screen size with the pixel count it has. The N900 is too small to not feel cramped in web pages, yet the device itself is a brick. In my experience, I'd much rather use my netbook for web-related things (when I need the "real" internet). All the other stuff is has more than enough space on a X10 mini, and it is really more a matter of clever software design.

I will keep my N900 and install MeeGo on it, just to see how it works and evolves, since there is no point in selling it. But if it is anything like the netbook UX, it will be (and stay) a half way finished product with enough holes in it so it's not really usable as a stand alone single device.

I think you would find this to have the killer dimensions:

Shame about the OS

Unpossible... You have almost 600 thanks, that can't be 12 karma... Have you linked up your talk account for karma ?

I have an N810 and I love it... but I want an Android phone. I also have a Nokia 3600 Slide, which is okay, it's pretty old though. I really like this community and will continue to use my tablet but I won't be buying a Nokia Phone unless they pump out some Android phones. I don't like how they close so much of the source, and this wayfinder thing for Maemo sucks now.
