[maemo-users] Nokia device usage

[From: Scott]

Most people have over inflated expectations about what technology in  
general can do... we can thank the marketing departments of the world  
for that.  Its just like when your ISP says you get 3mb transfer  
speeds but really its a maximum of 3mb... and how they say 3mb meaning  
megabit rather than megabyte yet average people only know the 1  
term... or that 500gig hard drive you bought is really 468gigs... my  
favorite had to be someone selling an "internet ready" power strip...  
so people who do not know any better think they need this one to be  
able to surf the net.

I will go on record and say that the n810 has failings, but it is  
meeting my expectations.
