The fact that it's a cut down version of a full Android installation just might have come to my attention BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!

I'm sorry that you're ticked off, but to be fair - and I swear I'm not trying to be all A POX ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES or whatever - your OP was terribly confusing to me and, from this thread, a few others.
I get that you were being tongue-in-cheek, and that's fine, but it was hard to parse your tone to understand what the point of your OP was and what kind of responses you expected. Heck, I'm still not sure I know what responses you wanted.
If the point of your post was
Nook Color. Nice. Happy with my purchase. then I and most of the rest of the B&N board are happy to congratulate you on your purchase. Yay!
If the point of your post was
Nook Color. Nice. Happy with my purchase. Now I can sign a 2 year contract for one of those newfangled Android phones. then you shouldn't be too surprised to have the entire board go
Wait. What. in varying degrees of urgency.
I think if you'd left out the first paragraph in your OP, this thread might have been clearer for everyone. In retrospect, I think I realize that your first paragraph was a framing device for your review, but at the time, it seemed like you were using your impressions of the NC to decide whether or not to buy an Android phone contract. And no matter how much you do or don't like your NC, you most definitely should not do that, because the NC experience and the Android smartphone experience are nothing alike, imho.
Still, I'm sorry your thread was derailed. You can use the
emoticon, of course, but I'm not sure what you want the ON TOPIC posts to be. Help!
