When I saw this thread I thought it was tied to a fatal NokiaWorld announcement. And here it's just another opinion piece.

Speaking of that Nokia World keynote today, I am pretty excited about Symbian^3 :D and all those new devices

I think that the people don't know what are they buying when they bougth a N900. It's the best piece of hardware in the market :S

I had an iPhone 3GS and now have a N900 and the iPhone it's a toy compared whith the Nokia mobile computer.

Learn to use it before throw up **** in the forum all day.

Exactly.
Rather than admit that they don't have the aptitude to use the device, they go off on a stomp and say it's cr@p.

I'm up to the task. Gerbick Poppenbacher to the rescue.
:D danke sehr!

Btw, in which regard did you embrace Android?

Ofcourse not. You probably modded your thing, and she hasn't read the manual.

Easy to install, easy to use and it's user interface is quite nice. I would never install Gentoo on someone's machine, as it is way too time-consuming to maintain and get those users to learn to maintain the machine. Maemo and Ubuntu are not comparable, in my opinion, in terms of being ready for end users out of the box.

Neither would I advice any non-techy to buy an n900.
Yeah which is why I am saying meamo needs to aspire to be the uBuntu of mobile OS if it wants to hit the mainstream which must be Nokia's ultimate goal. But too little too late I think

Right, Debian, as if that is fine tuned to run on an embedded device. I just use SSH client to easily get into Debian. But I've done that on S60 with PuTTy. too.

Or you can conversely say that the device has failed as a mainstream device as it requires a high level of technical aptitude to use it. Nokia were definitely going for mainstream with the N900

OP should never have bought the N900. It has been wasted on him.

He should have bought the Android phone that came out at the time the N900 was released and seen how long that lasted.

Don't compare a device that came out a year ago with devices that came out last week!
