Everything else is useless. We don't need their applications or services, at least Nokia can provide all I need (music, maps, email, etc.).<br><br>Phones should be treated just like any other electical equipment. When I by a vacuum cleaner I do not need to make a 2-year contract with the electricity company to get their "special" electricity. And my vacuum cleaner can have what ever features I like, the electricity company certainly should not have anything to say about that.<br><br>Nokia is the only company to fight against the stupid operators, please support it! Apple and the rest are in their bandwagon, and against the customers. They want a closed ecosystem, Nokia wants an open one.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 10:08AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
