I thought I would post a snippet from the Endgadget review that represents the 
view of the users of Nokia's products. This is something that Nokia bears in 
mind, even if we at maemo.org don't always, we tend to be self-selecting geeks.

"After having dug in, we're seeing glimmers of brilliance here that give us 
hope. Maemo 5 isn't the polished, consumer-friendly, all-encompassing solution 
that Palm, Google, and Apple are all selling today, but it's fairly evident 
that Nokia has built itself a stable, extensible platform that can reach those 
levels with a little tender loving care. The company's commitment to open 
source and the Maemo development community is commendable -- it's something 
that should absolutely continue -- but going forward, we'd love to see what 
kinds of magical things could happen if it took development to 100 percent 
feature completion internally with a full round of usability testing before 
handing it off to the eager geeks in the field. The mere thought sends shivers 
down our spine."

The important point here is that users want _less_ developer control and _more_ 
Nokia control. 

Any smart company listens to their users and Nokia is no exception.
