This community is the answer to ALL problems and eventual Meego migration.

STOP the un-needed whining and the useless talk as it is really old hat now.

Bugzilla turned out to be a place to give the community the idea it was open development, no tangible improvements have been made that make the n900 a better tool since I bought it at launch. Give me productivity tools, Nokia? do you wonder where things went wrong, I can tell you it happened right here. Meamo, so close only to be dropped, loads of valuable feedback only to be tagged as wontfix because lazy contractors didn't want to make work for themselves. Nokia can still pick up where they left off all the gold is still in Bugzilla, most of it marked as wontfix. The n900 hater is a frustrated customer discovering that the real light at the end of the tunnel was turned off by Nokia. don't get confused by thinking they just want more fart apps, the n900 has almost everything except some of the most basic functions you have come to expect from the standard S40 Nokia phones.

Just think if the n900 was actual perfect we could all stop innovating now.

I get frustrated when the n900 community thinks the phone is perfect because they don't value the things I think are valuable, like all my bugzila input - things I could do on my s40 phone like search and Task descriptions, cant be done on the n900. call it apps call it improvement, market success = value to everyone, and yes i agree the n900 has everything i ever wanted from a phone, except it is missing a lot of what i thought was standard.

If you don't like a product, the answer is to sell it (or not to buy) and purchase an alternative. There is no need to repeatedly remind the rest of us why you choose to sell/not to buy.

Example: I purchased, and later sold, a HTC Desire. I did not, at any time, inform other Android users of my decision ad infinitum. Instead, I spent my time here, discussing the device that I (still) enjoy using. I do not think that the N900 is perfect, but I do think that it's the best device out there for my needs atm.

When I move to another platform, I will do so quietly and will, from that point onwards, spend my time discussing that platform in the appropriate places. I will not waste time here *****ing about my reasons for making the move.

I can't wait to sell my N900, I haven't been complaining on the forums but I don't think its right for you to complain about people who voice their opinion against the device. I will make my voice heard but not purchasing another Nokia device and I'll make sure to not make the mistake of assuming basic phone functionality again. Some of it we got but even with mms, fmms isn't really an acceptable solution to someone who purchased the device at full price.

Agree with above two posts, ebuddy is not as good as the telepathy-msn-pecan, IMHO.

or do you mean like sitting in a wheelchair and being spoonfed by a personal assistant?

Seriosly though, n900 isn't for r.etards, if you don't know what the difference is between using ubifs and ftl you probably shouldn't post here.
Go buy yourself an iphone or nintendo and be happy.

I don't want to start an argument here or anything but I have noticed that many people who dislike the N900 was because of the "lack of apps" - now I can understand if they were only downloading from the Ovi Store (which I think we all can agree is a joke - it should be renamed to the Ovi Pum and Pop Store). But if you enable repos like maemo.org, -testing, -dev then there's more than enough Apps to choose from.

On my N900 for games I have; Angry Birds, Asphalt5, Jurassic Coaster 3D, Descent, DRIVER, SNES Emulator, Duke Nukem 3D, Giant Fighting Robots, Hexen 2, NES emulator, Jagged Alliance, Kroll, N64 Emulator, Need for Speed, Numpty Physics, Oregon Trail, PS2 Emulator (EDIT: Meant to saw PS1), Doom, Quake 2, Quake 3, Lamar Research Flight Simulators, Starcraft, Warcraft II, TuxRace, Wallenstein 3D (I left out the boring ones like chess)

I also have 2 dictionary applications, 2 translator applications, and as stellerium program for references.

As for graphics, I can view RAR photos, I have numerous excellent image editors (including GIMP), and even the pressure sensitive mypaint.

I have numerous navigation programs, and if I want to use Google maps I just go to the Google maps web site.

I find the camera to be great for a cell phone, and I also have 2 panoramic photo applications (one was free). With FCam it is very easy for me to adjust the camera settings.

Network options are ridiculous; VNC servers and (numerous) clients, Google Chrome, Firefox, Iceweasel, Macuco, Opera, Pidgin, 2 BitTorrent clients, the list can go on and on.

For office type applications I have K Office, Open Office, PFD editor and reader, AbiWord, Gnumeric for spreadsheets, I can't think of anything more I would need.

I have so many system info apps and other utilities it is crazy!

And on top of that I have DOSBox, BlueMaemo, and Debian LXDE? And if that's not enough I can dual boot into (admittedly) slower version of NITDroid.

I don't understand what more someone would want... can anyone explain?

By my count most of the posts are really in defense of the N900, and why you can't hate it, and if you do, why you shouldn't use the N900 and should get an android/iphone instead.

There are even quite a few posts which are just fanboys trolling in what should have been a serious thread.

Clearly, there majority of people here (TMO) believe the N900 is beyond reproach. In other words, most of the folks here are more likely to jump in and defend the N900 rather than listen to reasonable arguments that to some people the N900 may have some flaws.

Therefore, I move to have the thread closed.

My namen is Sigmund unt I'm here to help you. Vat you have there ist called ein shuperiority complex. Ja. Ja see, even smart-alek behinds like du and other peeple in here started somewhere and wee all asked simple questions in das forums before.

Was you think that only you is worth das air time is clearly either ein case of shuperiority or elitism. Also, since du is so eager to belittle other who may be older and smarter than du just because you know ah bit moore we recognize das complex sindrome of elitism-beratement-superiority-public, or, how vee call is in der business, der arseholism.

Vee hope du get to live in ein planet mit people just like du, were people on de street tell du are neing gut at wat they do best.

Sigmund out.
