Yep, that's exactly what I mean, some people have put down 430$ (in Canada) for a nice toy, and they can flash and restore in 20 minutes, but most people (I think, and I may be wrong) have put down 430$ for a fully customised device .. I'm not looking to be skewing information, if i'm wrong, then I'm wrong, no prob, then Nokia is right!
