Some people probably think you're biased because your comment promised a reveal of "(pretty huge) flaws" like the N900 (or rather, a Maemo phone in 2009) had.

1. I'm not aware of any especially terrible flaws in N900s, so I already don't know what you're talking about. The mention of the "flaws of the platform" makes me think you're just stealing the language from Elop that he used to describe Symbian.

2. The browser is not as good as Chrome on Android, and lacks landscape mode at release. This is a (pretty huge) flaw? I see it as a pretty minor (and likely temporary) flaw, which could be alleviated by using Chrome for Android on the device. You see it as a major flaw, because the "whole point of this phone is HTML5 apps." What?

3. The other flaw is that it is not an Android phone, and isn't tied into Google Play services. Is that a flaw on the iPhone, or just on the Jolla?

There was a promise in your comment that was not delivered on. In the end it was weird, like when somebody tells you how their ex-wife has been mounting a campaign of harassment against them for years - then as they describe the individual incidents in this campaign, you feel sorrier for the ex-wife by the minute.

Maybe explaining a couple of the "(pretty huge) flaws" of the N900 might help?
