I am in Sydney, Australia and have been eyeing out the N900 for a long time, ordered it on Amazon back in Oct and finally got my new phone yesterday!

mr2600 - you're in sydney as well? how'd you get Amazon to ship to aus? via one of the US>AU shipping sites?

i'm still awaiting mine for my friend to purchase it from UAE... probably need to wait till the end of this month :mad:

I somehow doubt it was named after the Aussie town :P and if it is WTF Nokia!
But yes it is annoying that Australia is left out (this is what happens when a country only has about 22 million people)

I ended up ordering from Amazon via an Aussie importer and can see the tracking details and its almost here ;)

Well finland has around 4-5 million probably, but I'm willing to bet that's working just fine ;)

Applications are lacking important features - please comment which new features are there in n900 applications to bring you any new value? Also the point of linux - are we users or are we developers?
I don't understand your definition of value.

If you were to comment what features you value and how you realize that value you will find that not everyone finds value in the things that you do.

If my phone could whip up the perfect Pina Colada it would be of no value to me. I would want it to prepare a tasty Margarita instead.

As far as the firmware is concerned saying it is not ready or unstable is based on what? The number of threads posted is not any indicator and an open forum certainly isn't the most reliable source for accurate data... but even so. In the poll's that I have seen on many forums, there are relatively low percentages of people reporting problems.

So, is your statement based on your opinion?

Named after the wind that blows through that town at times I believe.

I got mine sent to my cousins place in DC and then he mailed it over to me VIA USPS. Was very smooth and didnt have any issues. (apart from waiting for the damn preorders to come through!!!)

Sorry to double post but i had to comment on this seperatley.

YoDude your points are 100% correct. There are a few posts with people who are struggling(and i feel for them). But the majority are having a very easy time with the phone.

Also the phone has really sold out quite a lot and they have sold quite well from what i have seen online. So a low estimate of even 10000 units sold. If the issues where really so great, you would see 5000 negative posts not 50!!
