The same thing could be said about linux, harley davidson's, chic-fil-a, supercuts, the dallas cowboys, star trek and I'm not sure that having a devoted following is a bad thing. Linux sure has it's fair share of fanboys.

Can we not base our assertions on reality?

To be honest, from here you seem pretty well as fanatical and ranty as the original poster.

I have both the N800 and the ipod touch, I like them both, and I don't take it personally and get offended I someone talks out thier rear end about either one of them.
Must be something wrong with me ?, or it might be that I'm not a nerd and that I have a life.

I am sure he is but posts at either his or the OP style get very tiring very quick!

Yeah, i had a small dejavu just now.

We don't want another iphone/ipod vs n8x0 thread. All points were made, chewed and spat all over the place too many times. Stop already!

What was that sound?.... That was the sound of his point being missed by most people.

Come on people, for most people it's an electronics device and not a profession. I enjoy my n810 but I would NEVER EVER recommend it to anyone I know to buy.

Nokia could lead by putting more effort into the playform or get out of the way by releasing enough of the platform that a 3rd party could build and distribute their own firmware.

His point was lost in his own noise. He could have made it without bashing the developer community. I don't care how much one agrees with his essential premise, brontide-- the bashing is wrong no matter how you slice it.

So it's only ok to bash Apple products and product reviewers?
