    I agree with your statements, and think they can also be applied to a good portion of the people here...

    Just hold on a little longer.
    I think I would suggest the same - hold on if you can. I don't think you will be terribly dissapointed by the new device and in particular Fremantle on the new device.

    If Sachin is now ON-BOARD and enthusiastic (he was one of the vocal opponent to a smaller Maemo device) , I think many more will be including yourself (as will be myself too).

    And if the RX-71 tablet comes out later you can move forward again.
    So patience is the best virtue.

    How normal do you think that is that people don't have a contract in the US? The PAYG crowd are a minority in the US.

    And despite having an iPhone, I didn't commit to a 2 year contract either - but I have an inside connection, so I'm not normal either.

    Well atleast it was better than nothing
    But if rx-71 comes out along with rx-51 and it has a larger screen i am going to buy that.... even if it was just a tablet. I love large screens .... large enough to put in my pocket.... somewhere about 5"

    I think very few ....

    I had to join AT&T with a 2 year contract with a shitty phone (the Blackjack) and had to jump to a unlocked Nokia N95 from the torture of using a WinMo device.

    So even though I use an unlocked device, my initial contract still ties me down.

    It may depend on the demographic and geography. Anecdotally, I'm noticing more and more young adults going to pay-as-you go once they're off mom and dad's plan. Longterm plans by large providers only really make sense these days under certain conditions, such as a need to travel, conduct business, etc. I'd wager most 20-somethings don't need anything more than PaYG... and if so, the numbers will reflect that soon enough.

    But if you're just moving from Mom/Dad's plan to your own, it's highly doubtful you'd buy a N97 (or like priced cellphone) off-contract/unlocked.

    I have a niece that falls into this category, and all she required was something with the ability for SMS and MMS. And she's quite savvy. Would love a phone better than the iPhone, she helped with my N97 review - liked it actually more than I did - but something like the Maemo, she'd not go into at all.

    Don't know. Don't care.

    Then your experience is even less relevant.
