I understand you're frustrated with HP and all, but I believe his review was way harsh, and he focused on a few problems, and kept exaggerating it. In fact, he just talked about few good points of the Veer, but missed almost all of them: webOS 2.0 features (stacks, Just Tpe, Quick Actions, Exhibition, etc.), beats the crap out of iOS and Android on multitasking and notifications, gesture area, and the many things we love about webOS. It was like: "I made a webOS 2.0 on Engadget, so now, on to the bad parts of the Veer".
Look, I've also felt bad about the whole situation with HP and lack of phones, and because of this, I've taken a look at the competition, and there's still no way I could switch to another platform, which you can guarantee there are also bugs and all that (just go to an iOS or Android forum, and you'll open your eyes).
Tell me which other smartphone lets you open the keyboard, type something, and let it add to a note instantly. Sometimes we need to step back and appreciate a product for what it is, not for what it should be. And webOS is the best for productivity, hands down.
This was a review about the Veer, not webOS. All of the points you make about webOS have previously been highlighted in other reviews.
