N900 is ok for me,even if is incomplete and has limitations.

Is strange that no one advise me to get a iphone...lol

Thanks to your replies I know what to do now,this thread can be close.

You are welcome,
and just as we end this discussion someone else has
twigged onto what is going on at Nokia regarding any Meego kit:

Your brand new n900 will remain the most open and
powerful handphone throughout the year of 2011,
(unless of course you actually live in the Nokia factory or work for Nokia.)

Marko Ahtisaari, Senior Vice President of Design and User Experience at Nokia, recently gave a talk at LeWeb where he revealed that the Finnish firm is going to build an entirely new user experience on top of MeeGo and that it will ship at some point in 2011. Decoding Nokia language, that’s probably going to be the end of 2011, if not a delay to early 2012. His main talking points, if you don’t want to watch the 10 minute video or read his speech over at Nokia Conversations, are: it’s way too early to declare that the perfect smartphone user interface has been discovered. Cars didn’t get steering wheels until 15 years after they were invented, and the same can be said about mobile devices today.

<skip past the crossfire zone>

Innovation isn’t dead at Nokia, but it sure as hell is taking a long time to trickle out to the market.

As I’ve said countless times before, but people in the comments section never seem to get this through their thick skulls, I still love Nokia, and having been inside I know that there is an abundance of talent there. Sadly … management blows. Hard.

Oh, hey, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the iPhone! :) I've used one for years now. If you want a rock-solid smartphone with billions of tiny little colorful apps, that's the one for you. Android won't really be able to catch up to it for years.

You just have to buy into the Apple world view to get the most out of it. In other words, you're a "consumer"; your job is to sit down, shut up, and buy lots of little apps. You want to mess with the hardware or the OS, and you'll be fighting Apple every step of the way...
