Indeed. It's amazing how people who use the term "zealot" typically also insist that they're "only being pragmatic". I can only assume that "pragmatic" must mean throwing stuff out every year or so for newer, shinier stuff that just happens to support the software of the day.

You mean like the n770?

Now that this is a phone, too, I wonder if the device will be supported for longer. Not having ever shelled out more than $40 or so for a phone, I'm not sure if people who pay for smartphones expect to keep them for longer than a year or two.
