Re: Would you miss the Council if it was gone?
Err. I don't think you understand (which you might want to re-evaluate on the whole "I act on reality not dreams ok" point. Nokia (as in the higher ups that make the decision about device life...

Re: Would you miss the Council if it was gone?

Re: Would you miss the Council if it was gone?
I did. For some time I used just a standard cell phone with the N810 (which, obviously, isn't helping here since we're still supporting Nokia).. but once I got the G1 the N810 just wasn't as useful...

Re: Would you miss the Council if it was gone?
100% agreed Texrat. The council's focus on developer issues is a logical and important place to start and build from the bottom up. However, shouldn't Nokia be equally concerned with the opinions...

Ok, here's what I see:
The council is extremely useful in doing what it does. And what it does is largely what it has always done. What has changed is the nature of the community from...

Re: Would you miss the Council if it was gone?
I think Texrat has been slightly overstating our lack of results as part of his defence (quite rightly) about whether we've been doing anything and/or are incompetent (rather than impotent).
