I get it. But it builds a precedent that you're not having any support.

Unless the OS is truly, really, fully open, alongside the hardware drivers and all. The community devs wouldn't be able to help in many cases, and the company's support would be essencial.


And I agree. I never had or saw a Samsung device that had even half the hardware quality of Nokia. As a matter of fact, I don't think there is a single hardware manufacturer that comes even somewhat close.
