Upon 2020: Global war in your pocket:

I miss the old Nokia. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I trusted my N900 running Maemo (Linux).
re: chinese code/chips: What little I have seen is mostly junk, but when it's good, it's dang good. An issue with Chinese engineering, see through the eyes of a German engineering friend at a large chinese manufacturer is that they treat even senior engineering types as easily replaceable pieces. So it's harder to develop that cadre of smart people that really know their stuff inside and out. But when they do.. they do.
