Can't make strawberry jam out of cowsh*t.
the people complaining loudest have already been given the answers, but unlike most of us, have chosen to ignore them.

If nothing else this, and the other Jolla thread has allowed me to add some new idiots to my blocked list

So with the closed/open discussion behind us, I want to see the device now.

Or at least a few screens.

Fair enough. But you are a soft spoken person. What is needed is load and clear speech, accurate and precise. That's the only thing working to clear these woods of all the trolls

Google only makes it as open as is required by the licenses they are obliged to respect. Unfortunately this kind of openness is worthless.

Still, it's possible to build a working AOSP with working userspace for the N900/N9 (phone calls, etc.. are "hardware adaption", and that's just not done yet), but you can't build Harmattan for an Android device (driver issues aside). The equivalent to AOSP would be Nemo, but it's not day-to-day usable as a phone OS (at least for me). The AOSP UX is (basically) used by Google for their Nexus phones, so it has to work as "standalone product".

Differentiation in Android happens by adding non-essential components or replacing fully working components in AOSP by something from the vendor (TouchWiz, Sense, etc..) whereas in MeeGo/Maemo (what I've seen so far), it happens by *providing* components in the first place - with no or incomplete open source replacements available (mostly that's the UX - "window manager", phone, SMS, contacts apps, web browser, camera app, etc...).
