God... I suddenly had the urge to reply "Yeah well... your face is unintuitive and underpowered." What the hell is wrong with me??

I'm going to let my inner-a**hole hang out for a moment...
All I see is a bunch of undelivered, yet implicit, promises that a lot of folks around here somehow fell for (Nokia Reality Distortion Field?) and those that did not fall for it, they attack.
Those that still believe in it - they attack everything else.
Yet... I don't see very much to persuade me to believe in a damn thing they believe in. "It's the most open"... show me. I don't see 1/10th of the activity in terms of OS level hacks and development than I see at XDA-Developers. I mean, I just replaced the whole friggin' file system (RFS) to EXT4 and upped my entire speed on my Captivate.
I don't see 3D engines and apps. I see... well nothing.
For an open playing field, not much of anything is going on. PR1.2 and... that's it.
Instead of attacking, prove me wrong. Meanwhile, I'll be over here putting Android on my iPhone and modifying the living daylights out of my Captivate... there's a new Froyo firmware leaked out and I have to reverse my lag fix and revert from EXT4 before I do that.
Or I might go to a plain vanilla (sans TouchWiz) firmware and enjoy the lack of Samsung induced bloat.
I got real friggin' options. I don't see too many on the N900 besides sit... and wait... and hope.
And attack.

Let's see. their drivers have been open sourced and there are JH2, JH3, JM6 firmware (among others) out there and Froyo has been announced in the next month.
GPS does need to be fixed, but that's been announced too.
Past tense, hell yeah. Samsung sucked. Still do in most areas. But the Galaxy S series seems to be their right step forward. The same way that folks hope that MeeGo turns around Nokia's start/stop/restart process.
So far, I've benefited from this change in fortune from Samsung. I can't say the same for my Nokia purchases (past tense).
Here's to the future. Let's hope Samsung and Nokia don't leave us high and dry like they have in the recent past.

I could care less about the "disses" to be honest, just that there's a lot of FUD in this thread (you are by far not one of them) that state, at a bare minimum "If it's not Nokia, I won't ever like it".
And to me, that very closed mentality is... just plain friggin' weird. All OS's and devices are just tools. I run 5 different operating systems without issue and I don't favor a one over the other really. I just use what works the best for me.
Won't lie. I don't "like" Android, but it's better for my workflow in a lot of areas than the iPhone. Maemo fits my style for development and administration, but sucks for media and ultimately phone calls. Android's contact list sucks in a bit because despite removing the sync to my gmail accounts, it still lists them when I try to message somebody. There are inconsistencies that annoy me in Android, that I don't like. And iPhone? Refined, but dumbed down like a valley girl.
Regardless, I like the 4" Super AMOLED, the Hummingbird processor, the faster than anything else out feel, and the fact I'm getting 2.2 in less than a month (as announced).
Is it perfect for everybody? Nope. Probably why I've lag fixed, rooted, custom kernel, 1.2ghz overclocked, gps logging turned off, and removed all of the bloatware as well as tweaked TouchWiz. That's an awful lot to do on a "limited" platform.
I cannot say the same for the extremely open nor extremely closed. The "middle" path has treated me well. All that was required was an open mind.
And you sir... I believe you are very open minded and knowledgeable. Take care.
