Ironically, since we're agreed that what is lacking is the actual development, all of that is not actually helping resolve the problem. :P

TBH in spite of having done some moderation of the brainstorm forum and proposed and voted, i don't spend much time in brainstorm. I guess that comes from realizing that there's plenty of that going on and that even the rudimentary programming skills i have are a better employed than moving incoherent proposal threads out to pasture.

We have gone around a few times in this discussion about brainstorm over the past few months, and the lack of resolution each time reflects three things: (1) the disconnect between expectations and reality, (2) a lack of resources provided by Nokia, and (3) the generally poor advertising given when solutions are facilitated by brainstorm; a lack of ongoing statistics about the process.

The commercial and fiscal considerations you brought up (#2 reason) are generally out of the scope and reach of this forum, but there's definitely a strong following of that chorus here!

#1 is going to be a perpetual problem due to human nature.

#3 is the one that perhaps we can actually address. Since you brought it up through the subject statement of this thread , did you do some digging into numbers to support the conclusion that you make? Maybe you could bring some statistics so we can see what the reality is.
