Just most people are just getting on and enjoying their device, where they see problems they are logging bugs, and where they can help others they are just getting on with it.

Hopefully.

And BTW, just to reiterate, I think the issue of bugs and problems has been confused with the issue of smartphoneness. The two are separate issues. I concure with the fact that former needs fixing, complaining where necessary - just disagree with the latter.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 
It is indeed very true that most people who actually have their N900 are not here whining about it. On forums such as these you usually have three groups of people. You have those who love it, those who hate it, and those who doesn't have it yet.

Again, I can be forgiving that the N900 doesnt have all the phone features we want. But I think its pretty poor work by Nokia if the N900 has as many software issues that has been reported here.

That said, things such as MMS would be appreciated, but I am more than willing to wait for it..

I do have a good feeling about the N900 getting a lot of post-release attention from Nokia though. They have gone out and said that they were overwhelmed at how high the demand for the device is, and that they are having a hard time shipping them out fast enough.

I think Nokia may realise the potential here if they can manage to release solid updates quite quickly. They might end up earning alot more from the N900 than they first expected!

I would say most people who own the device are here, though. This is a device that breeds passion. I think the amount of ambivalent people is much lower for the N900 than, say the 5800. Come to think of it... if I'm totally honest, I didn't get the N900 just for the hard- or software. I got it because of you guys. I want to feel passionate about my phone/computer and interact with other owners. I've never discussed my 24" Acer monitor with anyone online.

With all these issues, Maemo 5 isn't what it should be. It takes the word "freedom" away from N900. I really have to re-consider this device. It's absolutely UNACCEPTABLE what Nokia have done. They have professionals working for months on a device and it comes to the market as if a 10 year old made it. Haha it's funny, its even worse than the N97 release! (didn't they learn from the E90's dead mic releases? :S:S:S) And everyone thought "oh, Nokia are delaying it so they don't make a fool out of themselves, they must learn from the N97"!! Oh...the irony... anyway, I really do hope they sort their unprofessional behaviour out, or maybe theyre just a big scam? hmm..

What have Nokia done that is so unacceptable? Would be nice if you elaborated a bit..

1. How did you miss all the bugs?
2. Have you reported some of these bugs and are they being worked on?

Sorry, but a media player app not remembering shuffle settings after you select a different song from the playlist tells me that nobody even used the media player app before the phone was released.

do you even own an n900?

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 
i think that n900 will improve with manyupdates like the n800 and n810. people should stop complaining about it and just wait for the updates. and anyone whos new to maemo devices and dont like the n900 should get more familiar with it or wait for more updates
