Most of the people (at least in Europe) has a single SIM card associated to a voice+data plan, and it would be *really* annoying to switch it between phone and NIT.

When WSOD happens, the hardware breaks, and there's no fix except for replacing the LCD controller.

Maybe I'm behind the curve here, but the lack of qtopia seems like a glaring omission. Is it DOA or still coming?

This is the way to show that Nokia is responsible to its customers, and it should not be a big burden for Nokia considering that there are not many packages in the core of maemo4 (i.e. without anything in the extras repository).
There are more 4.1 maintenance releases in the pipeline.
I'd like to emphasize the importance of fixing security issues in maemo4. Someone mentioned before that it's OK not to update maemo4 because if it works when you purchase it, it will always work. This is not true, because the device will interact with the potentially untrusted parties in the network. If a security bug is discovered in MicroB or Telepathy, an attacker can craft special packets/web pages to compromise the device, which would not happen when you purchased the device and the bug was not known yet.

Having only one SIM is the best reason why you wouldn't want to have this one SIM within your tablet rather than within your phone. Even if the future tablet had voice call capability: It'd be too big and clumsy to replace a phone. Also, the touch screen is not exactly what I'd be looking for in a phone...

It is just impossible to shake these trolls. Please, seriously, find something better to do with your time.
Oh, this time there's a tone. Can you tell the difference?

Just look again at GeneralAntilles face when you think he is being grumpy. How could anyone with a beatific smile like that have a tone?

On cx3110x specifically you may also want to include (it'd be nice if someone did) the patch from bug 2504.
