Really excited to get the phone and unbox it that was about all. As soon as i touched the screen for the first time my jaw dropped. It was no where near as smooth and responsive as my HTC HERO.
Had no problems initially but after 48 hrs of playing with it i realised that the phone side of the software is poor. Yes i know people say well its not a phone really blah blah, but the reception is really poor and it constantly dropped calls.
Found the phone uncomfortable to hold for long periods due to its thickness. The software is buggy and i know it will get better but with the battery issues, the poor touch functionality, the slow response and the size of the thing it just had to go.
Bring on the motorola milestone. Got it today and its a dream in comparison. The screen is beautiful and it all seems to work as it should. Slightly faster than my (OLD) Hero and with crystal clear clarity on phone calls. The speaker is hellish loud.

So in a nut shell im returning my n900 to nokia under the 14 day im not happy guarantee, selling my HERO and continuing to drewl over my milestone. Love it , just Love it.

I hope you had the foresight to "demonstrate" the ease of inputting contact information by getting hers! ;)

UI is nice, browser is nice, my major criticism is the phone function and antenna. Worse reception than my G1, less phone functionality than my G1.

The only thing that will get an audible "Wow" from me is an N64 or PSX emulator that runs 80%+ of full speed.

Great device nonetheless, I'm reasonably satisfied with it.

P.S. Why does every thread that praises this phone instantly get 5 stars, and every critical post gets labeled as "troll post"? If we don't recognize a device's flaws what chance will we get to fix them?

The device itself is a continuing wow moment for me. But in regards to the FM transmitter it had a surprise easter egg. I drive a Prius, as such the control head is digital so I see all of the sub-band text information a station sends out. The system will also keep the station ID and put it into the "button" on the touch screen. I was very surprised the second time, I went to play music through my car radio. The button to which I set the open channel I use had the station label "NOKIA".

WOW - Nokia is clueless in fixing it :eek:

To be honest, the N900 is great, but constant reboots kills its usability completely. Didn't think of it at first, thought it simply was due to some software or intermittent connections. But, this has been going on for weeks, and still no update of any sort or shape.

N900 = 900 reboots each day.
