I know that a lot of us have been waiting for the Samsung NX for many months (including myself), but since i saw the detailed specs, I decided to stick with my mFT camera and I am skipping the Samsung NX (for now  )
Anyone who actually bought the NX10?

No, I haven't and I won't go that way by now.
If you think of using it for MF Lenses, you have to know that the current firmware version doesn't allow for zooming in live view mode.
That means no MF focus precision.
I also will stick to my GF1 by now.

Jes.

It's a bummer, because they had a clean slate with no legacy compatibility to worry about... and they ended up making a camera that has no draw for the enthusiast crowd. 
I predict a short life... especially since they don't have any partners like micro 4/3 has.

Haha. Looking at it again, I think I just subconsciously summarized what you posted in the other NX10 thread. It's no wonder that you agree!

It seems a shame, Samsung had so much potential. But I guess not enough development/marketing dollars were being spent yielding a lackluster 1st gen product. Rumor has it that new cameras will be announced between April and June. The NX5 and the NX100. The NX100 is targeted to be released in May-June and be the first very compact NX model. It is aimed as a direct competitor to the Panasonic GF1 and Olympus PEN cameras. So I hope to see more legacy support there with MF assistance.
They will also have a problem with keyword searches in major search engines. NX100 is already an Epson product with zillions of pages.

That is not a problem for only MF users but every potential buyer from P&S segment. This must be some error that will be fixed very soon?

the NX didn't quite cut it, but the mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras have a big future IMO, no need for being m4/3, they can just as easily be APS-C or even FF.
I think of it being kind of a 'Leica rangefinder' sizewise but instead of having a rangefinder looking through the lens on a big, tiltable electronic viewfinder
