I know that, at least on Android, there's a default keyboard but you can replace it easily... and many people really love Swype as their on-screen keyboard (myself included!). Can this also be done on the N9?
Open source? I'm not sure. I've heard that you can make and/or swap keyboards. Not sure how true that is. One can only guess at this point i assume. Swype is available for sure from what I've gathered.

That statement you made where you drew a parallel of the Nokia and Microsoft band could not be any truer. They share the same shitty personality traits haha.
Microsoft's bad rep hurt WP7 bad....but the upcoming Mango seemed to shave off some of that hate, the lumbering giant seems to be awake, and i expect good stuff from them. Hopefully, for Nokia's sake. The WP7 platform looks promising, whoever denies that is truly in denial.

Elop's only crime in MY eyes is that he refuses to push Meego development into full force. Jumping in bed with microsoft to me was understandable, but he has absolutely ZERO REASON TO NOT DO BOTH IN PARALLEL.

Methinks you are trying very hard to distract from the conversation. Do not pretend to be clever. You are not qualified.

And, in its first year, Android was actually a new project from a new entrant, as I'd already pointed out. Not bad, considering Microsoft's head-start.

Speaking of hyperbole and add some obfuscation, I didn't claim that most of the WP7 users didn't like WP7. I pointed out that they failed to win the handset market over the past 20 years, even to Palm. If WP7 gets high levels of satisfaction, it would be from the very few, remaining users that haven't gone off to get something else. If consumers were displeased, they are far more likely NOT to be "its users." Q.E.Duh

Astroturfing is a form of advocacy often in support of a political or corporate agenda designed to give the appearance of a "grassroots" movement. The goal of such campaigns is to disguise the efforts of a political and/or commercial entity as an independent public reaction to some political entity—a politician, political group, product, service or event. The term is a derivation of AstroTurf, a brand of synthetic carpeting designed to look like natural grass.

Yeah, you make some good points. They're tangental enough to the point that I've actually been making that I don't really feel like arguing them.
