...and cell phone evolution thus weeds out the angry and impatient.

Most of us may get it, but if:

"N900 was not meant to be a smart phone."

Then Nokia needs to be a lot more clear about this before people buy it. Far more people I bet assume it is a VERY good smartphone and has at least the function of the other high end devices like Droid and HD2.

Just go and check other forums and the buzz about the device. People are understandably assuming equal smartphone function as the other devices PLUS all the great internet and media function.

For the N900 and a lack of a clear marketing effort, intentions and expectations are only in sync with the techs like on this site. This site is the minority of the total population that will get this device- and think it is a smartphone.

Hmmm. Perhaps this is why Tmo has not announced the device and are waiting on Nokia to "smartphonatize" the N900's interface some.

I will take my chances without Tmo ;) N900 would be tainted by Tmo. Not sure if I am joking or not...

Good point Rushmore.

Perhaps video advertisements should start off demonstrating all the computer-oriented stuff, and at the end the narrator intones, "Oh yeah, it's a phone too..." and then the phone features are showed off.

If you are being sarcastic, it still sounds like a good idea ;) :)

Not sarcastic at all.

I hope it comes soon.. it would greatly augment my work process. Not to mention I'm paying TMobile 3G access for nothing right now since the phone I got from them can only do Edge (though I can tether it to my n800 and it's what I've been doing).

In that case, it is a GREAT idea and promoted from just "good" ;)

I sure hope Nokia reads some of this stuff and get the hint. The N900 could be huge with a little more phone centric love :) Ultimate device- evah'!

I think i have said that before ;)

-1 astroturfer.

Preorder is never a final order, and you did not pay for it. If you paid for it, the transaction is final. Better luck next time, kid.
