Anyway, as it stands... if it's not a product for you, then why invest so much anger into it?

I know, I know... the irony of my own statements don't escape me.
Troll? huh since when i be one of them? and do you actually know what the "lol" stands for? who is angry here huh, not me that's for sure as i am more than happy with my N900 especially after what i have achieved with it.

Gerbick you could not be further away from your own statements.

So wait. If you're happy with the N900, then why the swordplay/threat to Nokia?

No popcorn necessary. I'm trying to figure out your new vector as of late... and decided that it was too erratic to pin down.

So, I'll dismiss it instead. Glad you're happy with your N900, keep up the good work on the posts.

Why do we have all the problems we have if they are actually compatible with eachother, so now we know Meego is the future then why did Nokia give out a lame excuse for a Meego OS?, obviously a first attempt at the Meego OS so where is the compatibility occuring here?.

@ lordfury007 , My point never was that Maemo on the N900 was a perfect product.

My point was that Nokia supplied a fully functional peice of software

How can you say this ??? is this some kind of sick joke? lol.
It functions fine for me - i can make and recieve phone calls, text messages, emails, can surf the internet, connect to wifi and bluetooth, play music and movies... and thats with the base software.

Face it - this phone does more out of the box than any normal laptop, yet you wouldn't complain if a laptop had less functionality than this, straight out of the box.

What you are looking for, is something that does everything for you, exactly the way you want it to, and you don't have to put any effort into it at all.

Zorro is a heroic charector from a series of movies and i was playing the heroin as a joke, why you have to be so serious man lol (reminds me of that yank tennis player John McEnroe lol) anyhow i am sure you mean well, maybe you should consider a job with Nokia as a security guard at the devlopment dept :p.

Well i would never say it does everything i want it to do but there again what mobile does?, i am happy with mine but i had to do a lot of work to it myself to get it there no thanks to the maker.

If your happy then great so no further comment.

What's lame about MeeGo? It's not finished yet. Does that make it lame? It's way, way too early to pass judgment. Lame or not remains to be seen when devices running final versions hit the market. Since it will be basically a full-stack, open mobile Linux OS (similar to Maemo) I doubt anyone who likes Linux will consider MeeGo lame.

As for compatibility, read my previous sentence and think Qt.

The base Maemo OS is fully functional and quite nice. Excellent UI. 'Fully fuctional' regarding the included or available apps depends strictly on your expectations and needs. For me they're almost 100% functional. The only things really missing is DocsToGo Premium (coming any day now) and bluetooth printing (Mace is working on it).

I never quite fully understand where this "the n900 is not the device for you" come from.

If a device (N900 or not) is capable of doing task A, as well as B, C, D. Then why would me wanting a device that's capable of doing task A would exclude me from choosing a device that can also do B, C and D...especially when I don't mind paying more for features that I don't need (after all, who really use 100% of the features of any tools, devices...etc?).

It's not that wanting to have task A will make a ABCD device the wrong one to get (as long as you're okay with paying for BCD without ever using them).

It's wanting to have task E (MMS), F (10 racing games to choose from), G (everything pre-installed) that makes the ABCD device the wrong choice. In that case one should rather try to get an AEFG device.
