This is the first and last time I'm taking the N9 on one of my trips to Germany. When I get back home I'm retiring her to the collection.
Nokia had a winner on it's hands but it was too stupid and short sighted when it hired the bumbling fool / Microsoft flunky and he followed his masters orders to trash Harmattan.

On another note, I've decided not to support the Jolla team either. They put out a substandard product and I can't really see them putting out anything better either. They worked on Harmattan for years and this is what we got.

Hey, I feel you my friend. You want to know why? Because problems like that I had with the N900... I just love the OS, it's just... Idk, so smooth, so clean, so user friendly, but no, Nokia had to leave all the projects. And let's not blame Microsoft... If Nokia was a BRAND as they claim to be, they would develop their own software (like Symbian, and Maemo/Meego) and keep it all the way (check Blackberry or Apple). Why didn't Blackberry adopted the android or windows os? Why didn't apple did it?

Nokia just got lazy, it was easier to switch to another platform and get it over with.

and maybe you can switch to another device, another device with Windows, or iOS (personally I'm sick and tired with that lame Android, still buggy as a rooted device, still lame as a stock fw).

And exactly as you said, this is just a personal opinion.
