I wasnt really trying to enter that discussion, just tag on my opinion to the end of my general "this is cool", "i am wondering about this" email. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 28, 2007 9:56 AM, Alfredo J. Fabretti <

<br>> it doesn't apply to you anymore because the initial investment has already<br>> been made. Regardless, its not just about Nokias interest, there is a world<br>> of innovation to continue well beyond the walls of Nokia.
<br>><br>> Im not trying to create a flamewar, I just wanted to toss in a few cents.<br>><br>> PS Ill keep buying the NXXX because it is an amazing device. Thank you for<br>> making it.<br>><br>> PPS sorry for my harsh title, sometimes you just need to say it. The device
