sad really, as the most creative developers is found among the customers going "hmm, it would be nice if this thing in my pocket could do X"...
I would almost conclude the opposite..I see problems with DEVs committing to the platform due the Maemo 6 and QT..

Why would you say that this is not a consumer device?

Think more like a very calculated wishing well. One where Nokia is full well and aware that its not the type of wish being asked for that they are looking for, but the number of times a specific type of wish is being asked.

The yellow brick road got an overpass... now its up to people to take it.

T-Mobile isn't Android-only. In fact, Android doesn't even seem to play a big role for T-Mobile outside the US. The iPhone is exclusive on T-Mobile in Germany, and they put far more advertisement into the iPhone. I suppose the N900 will play a role like Android in Germany for T-Mobile. Nice to sell, but nothing to invest much into advertising.

well, it would not surprise me if the different t-mobile's operate as autonomus regions...

I get the impression that the analysts are confused. Nokia probably doesn't care if the carriers install their own apps on the N900. They won't be able to cripple the OS, however, nor will they be able to force people to pay high prices for ringtones and such.

I believe that's what's really going on here. It's not that they can't customize the OS... it's that Nokia is saying "don't lock it down" and the carriers are balking at it.
