To be fair to Nokia, you and I should both spend more time getting our 
obviously defective units replaced, and less talking about how we have 
the 2 that brick amongst so many very satisfied users.  If there's still 
a warranty on them, it's got to expire any minute now.

Speaking of Nokia... I hope they sort out the Qt licensing now.  I still 
can't figure out of Qt is free software or not.  I know with Gnome, 
which I somehow always manage like a little less every time I get 
something newer from them, it's GPL/LGPL.  Period.  No free for some, 
but not free for others, no free if you're not trying to make money off 
your code, etc.  I get a headache when people start hanging a bunch of 
preconditions on the GPL as if it were a Christmas tree to be decorated.
