its too late im afraid. problem is nokia dont believe in release early release often. they guess at what their customers want and then lock them out of the development process. a year or two without any release is costly and ineffective. if nokia goes on like that they should just go back to making boots. or maybe go into making ladies bags. they seem to work like louis vuitton anyway. all marketing and flash. -- quarq consulting: agile, open source _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
