@sazius I think you're right, but the n900 had more traditional-free-software-community behind it than any Android release I've ever seen has.

I resisted Android for some time, then decided to embrace the community editions, and they're all struggling. I'm not convinced we're seeing the free future we want trying to play catch-up here.

(In the meanwhile I'm still grateful for everyone (f-droid, replicant) trying hard to make a community version of things happen!)
