Well, in that case there is no reason at all to buy this device. Maemo is in usability a miles away from IPhone, Android or Symbian os. That would mean a complete device lock-down.

I can stand the bloat, as long as it isn't aggressive, replacing the default. For instance there's no reason why say in a photo uploading application, you can't have all the options side-by-side. If they start trying to remove Skype, or VoIP (which history shows us they will) then I'm going to be very annoyed. Nokia's position is understandable but you can't let them neuter the device.
