I deleted it as I felt it was slightly OT to go into specifics.
Either way, they have helped with the MMS part - I woke up the other day with the wappushd headersfile in my inbox, sent from a kind spirit @nokia.com.

Nokia does collaboration with 12 top universities, only 3 of these are in Finland link.
Nokia does business in over 150 countries. They localize products in over 180 languages. Are there any other high tech corporations who does that kind of localization, besides Microsoft? Name me other high tech corporation that open research center in countries like Kenya?
Ok, maybe they don't offer just the kind of jobs you want in just the country you want. Is that really must requirement for being "open"?

How many Open Source has you created ? What is their ranking on the freshmeat.net for example ?
Next time, instead of writing up your little rant... how about you put a little research into your claims beforehand, huh?

sadly there is a price to Freedom, and its called participation. Mistakes will be made, but at least you can say you were there.

2008 (or 2009). Really free phones (OpenMoko) are dying.

They are helping even before that the device hits the streets, isn't it nice?

Problem with fMMS? Run in x-terminal: cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/
After that you'll see fmms.log in filemanager or when you connect the device to your desktop as a mass storage device.
E-mail the log to me, if you don't have the email address, drop me a PM. Thanks!
fMMS - MMS for your N900
fAPN - GUI for adding a new GPRS APN
