(I usually choose SE cameras over Nokia but got suckered with the c905. That Carl Zeiss lens is hard to beat.)

Lol, quite possibly :), just my 2 cents on the topic. I agree the SE cameras are amazing, I actually almost bought the c905 before I got my E71, but I have been impressed with the camera quality with the N97 and N86.

Basically, my expectation/hope for the N900 would be something like this:

Ideal N900 = updated N810 + updated Maemo + voice calls + 3g data + GPS & mapping equal to Verizon Droid

Unfortunately for me, I now understand that the GPS is worse than on the N810 (due partly to a bug).

Anyway, it is now clear that the N900 is probably not going to meet my expectations in regard to GPS/navigation. :(

Anyone have thoughts on what it is going to take to resolve this?

How do we (end users) get bugs like this resolved as quickly as possible?

Since Google's turn-by-turn navigation can be made accessible on the G1, what would it take to get that on the N900?

Oh, I dunno, making phone calls would be a pretty reasonable expectation at this stage after all these delays and other ****ups. Right?

Wrong.

Uuuuuh. Nice one. I didn't see that coming. You can make phone calls with the N900 if the hardware is working.

Next try, please.

That is precisely my point. I expected working hardware. Or is that too high an expectation for a £500 device?

So all N900s have broken hardware? Or which point are you trying to make?

I can't say I've ever been shipped anything over £50 that has been non-functional for one of it's key advertised points, but if you consider that to be acceptable QA, then I'd like to know what you consider unacceptable.
