Exactly. Great geek product but crappy phone.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 
I didn't expect the n900 to be a great phone (I consider it a tablet first, a phone second myself). Not to mention considering how Nokia themselves pointed out that it's only step 4 of 5 in building the platform. Step 4 is more for the geek and bleeding edge crowd than your average consumer.

Though I'm not so sure I want step 5 myself, it seems to be too smartphoney and no longer a tablet by that point. Especially given the things they are considering (e.g. DRM systems)

Really?

Your OP didn't even mention phone functionality, and seemed to critize the "smart" part of it rather heavily.

Also, naming you thread as "N900 - Yes, it sucks" isn't really the best way for reasonable criticism that might actually be usefull and help in Maemo development.

I never use playlists. Won't bother me one bit. Does it have the ability to play music based on info gathered from ID3 tags? Like play all music in a specific genre? That and a really good directory structure is all I need.

especially considering the "geek" in him is still excited about the phone. Very misleading title which is likely only an attempt to generate replies (i.e. trolling)

Yes it does. Though playlists are nice when you want to say make one for a party, or do smart playlists (smart playlists would be a nice feature actually).

Though I wonder why there's no music program (not online like Last.FM, etc.) out there that is done via tags.

every time I hear step 4 of 5 I have to run to the bathroom.. because this means cr*p

at any given stage the phone has to be finished product. No excuses because with Nokia 5 of 5 will become 4.95 out of five and when you hope you have of 5 of 5 suddenly you are in 5 of 6 :-) and the crap continues.. got to run to the bathroom sorry

Please point out where I said iPhone killer.

This is a phone that is being sold by Nokia as a flagship device. I am therefore within logical bounds to assume that it will compare to other flagship devices and not crap its pants every time I try to scroll.

Also, the fact that I bring up concerns after using the phone for some time and some people around here get all defensive and call me a whiner makes you guys a bunch of fools. Exactly the kind of fools that Nokia needs to keep buying garbage products.

Again, as a gadget, the N900 is great. As a phone that is supposed to be bought by many many people it falls flat on its face.
Did you ever consider that perhaps its just YOUR phone and you should think about reflashing as several other people have done and a very simple process has already been posted for.

Or did you just decide not to bother doing any work and instead fire off a big ole whine.

Simply put. It's not a [smart]phone yet. It's just a tablet with basic phone capability added.
