So in summary, Linux is not for everyone.

+1
The entire discussion in this thread has nothing to do with the OP. So I see no reason for it to remain open.

Although the resistive screen dilemma is real, you might be suffering from Scoliosis. The FUD around here is generally spread by victims of marketing. Think for yourself, and never forget that an opinion is like an a*shole.

Does that mean that opinions are full of nasty smelling gas? :eek:

I have to disagree there. They're AS configurable, if not more. Let's not forget that Android has been, ironically, more open-sourced than Maemo 5.

Please tell me more about this, I really would like to hear some facts.

Facts is not something you will hear in this topic.
So far, it contains only subjective statements from people who are not willing to listen to each other. :(

This is where the arguer builds something up so they can win a cheap point, examples on this thread:

2) What device has Garnet VM and a FM transmitter??

With reference to my post, how can you call the N900 a straw man. The N900 is what is being discussed here, is it not? I listed *some* of the things that I enjoy on my N900 and that I would definitely want to have in a device that I upgrade to. And you call that a straw man? It is like some guy from another country moving to yours and going on and on about how unhappy he is with this and that, and raving about how his country has x or y that is so much better. But, you, your family, and your friends, were all perfectly happy until this troll arrived. The troll refuses to see the beautiful unique aspects of your country that make it such a pleasant place. He is obsessed with finding fault and with comparing it to his country. And when you list the unique and beautiful aspects of your country to him he labels them as a straw man. Talk about a TROLL.

Re: Brainwashed by FUD

Alright, this thread is officially a ball now.
It goes round and around and has no point.

You can see it as sort of a point only if you take 100 steps back.

.and squint.

Oh well I'll post something completely off-topic.

Does anyone know if Meego will have "proper" support for bluetooth keyboards and will "USB Host mode" will be included too?

Depends on the actual device and drivers.
