I sure do. And I'm surrounded in both Android and iPhone owners.

That's not to say they don't like to show their phones off to me sometimes too. But.. I suppose that's the difference between me and them and this forum. Give and take isn't actually "bad".

Having an FM transmitter to stream Pandora through clearer than the majority of after-market devices with a larger range of frequencies impresses several people. The ability to play videos in quality and formats that other phones balk at impresses people. The ability to have skype completely integrated into my contacts gets attention. The ability to quickly switch between several apps when we are debugging problems at work impresses. Using the flash as a flashlight is still brighter than any screen yet.

Many, many, little **** that I do day by day that the people I hang out with go "that's cool." Then my Android buddy pulls up full 3D WoW Armory on his phone to show off his character that I have no hope for (The armory requires Flash 10).

So yeah.. living in a world where there's actually room for differences must seem totally weird to most people on here.

I understand where you're coming from with that point, but I read the situation a little differently on this one.

I just don't think it is good enough to have said it's not going to happen in the first place, and firmly believe in vocally trying to change Nokia's mind on this sort of issue.

The N95 is a prime example of a phone which, through user pressure and complaints (also from networks) was updated to include features like demand-paging, accelerometer rotation etc. This was also stuff which they said was never coming and yet they caved in and did it, and in doing so did the right thing by their customers... the phone just wasn't properly finished without some of those features and fixes.

When Nokia was pushing the N900, I don't remember them saying WARNING: We are making a big deal about how we support Flash now, but that doesn't imply we will support the .1 update to Flash when it comes.
I never said they can't complain (though I wish they would do it more constructively). I'm saying (if you would re-read my post) that it's rather stupid to complain that what you were expecting didn't come when they told you not to expect it.

By all means push Nokia to do it. Heck I'd be more then happy to join in on that push. But complaining that an update didn't contain X feature when they said X feature wasn't going happen seems pointless. Hence my analogy to kids at Christmas.

Anyone with more than a handful of posts, I believe. The bar isn't high.

No voice navigation in Ovi Maps. No video calls over 3G (this means you can't do 3G video phone calls). This is not the same thing as video calls as Skype and GChat (which has been working since PR 1.2)

Everyone has their own opinions, there is no need to go around insulting people here.
