That might be because you kep your cellphone down there.

Imagine the disappointment of the lady fooled by your codpiece? You'd better have some good games installed on those phones!

The paranoia actually seems to be on twitter...

Indeed, but one can only guess they caught it from here. Most of the twitter information on n900 seems to originate here. In particular dates. ;)

Well, that's easy. Just spam lots of "oh, look how safe and harmless the n900 is!" threads. That should easily convince the mass of gullible twatters

Check out what the 'average joe' is saying about the Droid form factor (thickness and weight). I can only imagine the response when they see the n900

..."While reviewers have praised the Droid's software, the physical design of the device is a bit clunky. And the device itself is heavier than many other phones in its class. For this reason, among others, Patel said he'd take the weekend to think over his Droid purchase.
"I really don't want to be carrying around a 100-pound block in my pocket," he said. "I can already imagine it weighing down the pocket of my cargo shorts in the summer. So I have to really think about whether I want to lug this thing around for two years."...

Yep - fortunately unlike you and your continual nitpicking, the rest of us get round this problem by NOT GIVING A RATS *** about the average Joe. Let them buy their own goddamn device, I am buying this one for me.

Why do I feel like I should stand up and applaud?

Of course, the only people who should buy the N900 are unix guru's and hardcore deveoper's, much like yourself. Its not like you still live with your parents and work minimum wage, right?

If the n900 does not sell well, it could easily be shelved by Nokia bean counters. We need the n900 to appeal to average joes for long term success.

And if it does get shelved we will of course have to send our devices back to Nokia for destruction, those are the rules .... oh wait no they arent. The device will still be a wonder of technology and because it is in fact for the most part a community supported device it will continue to grow and get better.

But look I have had this conversation with you before and again I say - why in the name of hell are you still here. Honestly every goddamn post you make is either derogatory towards the device, or comparing it with something else, or asking for the umpteenth time "WHAAA WHAT ABOUT AVERAGE JOE".

Seriously by a goddamn iPhone already, you cant get more idiot, I mean average joe, likable than that phone.

On a final note - what the fudge would you have them do about the thickness of the device now 7 days or less before release? Get out their belt sanders and knock a few millimeters off?

I don't think Nokia expects the n900 sales to be earth shattering brilliant, remember its "only" step 4... ;)
