Re: Thinking of giving up on n900, please give your opinion

If we dropped you down the toilet, would you somehow find a way to re-register and post again?

Re: Is the N900 ever going to be a polished product?

And the counter challenge is, how may people want that device, vs the one that can do 80% of what it can do, but does it with a better user experience?

A closed platform is as polished as the platform...
