I never hated him.
I just said, that I lost my trust in him.
He was the hero for many, but for others not.
Why?
He made a secret unfinished device public.
The others who had a N900 had to sign the NDA.
Why then he had the right to tell everyone about the N900?
He seems to be very intelligent so that the mobile phone manufacturers can't do without him.
But why he always have to tell everyone about the products he is testing?
I'm testing some unfinished, unreleased software, too. But I'm not making videos of them (ignoring the fact, that I would gain so much views just because of them).
That is what I don't like.

You are right, when you say, that he was not alone with his faulty device. That proves again, that he had no official device from Nokia, because the others were able to change the device, if it was faulty.
The reboots have mostly nothing to do with the code. If you have a device which reboots every 30 minutes you have to change it. Even a complete reflash doesn't help.

Then he said to everyone (in Twitter) that the N900 is so unfinished, and if Nokia wouldn't change something it would fail.
Tell me one thing: when you're testing some software of a client of you, would you say all over the internet, how shitty his software is?
That tells a even more about the person..
