OK well after seeing your posts in other threads and seeing what problems you've had I've come to these conclusions:

It seems like you're:

1. Pressing "end call" during calls
2. Sliding the lock key when you hit "enter"
3. Talking into the charger unit instead of the microphone (the microphone is conveniently located at the bottom of the phone)
4. Putting the phone in a freezer
5. Putting your headphones into the charger socket. The headphone socket is the same shape as the end of your headphones. If you are using that socket, look inside to see if it's full of beans. If it is, please remove the beans.
6. Trolling

If you address these issues the problems should disappear.

i'm afraid you're going to have to describe your problems better if anyone's going to be able to offer help - you wouldn't text a mechanic friend simply saying "my car dont drive right" and expect a solution.

have you had these problems since you got the phone?
have you enabled / installed apps from devel repository?
installed anything just prior to a problem starting?
dropped your phone, got it wet etc?
lists problems/symptoms one at a time, what you did, what's expected behaviour, and what your n900 actually does, with as much detail as you can provide.

many many problems have been solved already and a quick use of power search in the top corner is highly reccomended, if you ask someone to fix a problem which has been discussed 100 different times simply because you didn't search yourself on here you'll receive short thrift from many users.

Festivalnut is spot on. No-one can help you unless you provide a clear description of the problem, and the steps leading up to the problem.

Unless you'd like to post your n900 to one of the experts here who could look at it for you?

If you go to a doctor and say "I'm ill" he'll ask for a bit more detail before deciding whether to listen to your chest, check your knees for creaking or stick a probe up your @rse. If you want a tech-doctor to diagnose your n900 problems, you need to describe the symptoms. Try: "When I do this, that happens." You don't need to be technical about it.

I'm sorry the n900 has been a horrid experience for you, but most people here have had very good use out of the device. The fact that you have had problems in several devices suggests either serious network issues or something in your particular use-case is causing trouble. Without more detail, we can't say any more than that.

BTW, we have rules here against being needlessly rude, insulting or troublesome to each other. You might want to check them out.

See, Gabby131 is a helpfull individual. From what I have seen from Gabby's posts in threads in the last few months is a willingness to help others. Just about everybody has helped somebody else on this forum in some kind of way. From what Ive seen, no one person can tame the N900 by themselves. We pretty much would all like to help the original poster, but we need info and a look at your previous post and threads arent good indicators of your seriousness(at least to me). So if you really want help, give more info or else call nokia care.

what a very good thing to hear from you, :)

I am very glad to help and very thankful that some are recognizing it and also thankful for those who helped me.

Re: Having problems with nokia n900 but no one will help
 
i think the problem is that this is a very good phone and comunity, but because the phone is more of a computer than a phone it does require a bit of either know how or a willingness to search the forums thourougly for similar probs before posting things saying no one will help. This is a very helpful comunity and very fair but if you have absolutely no idea what things like firmware are or give very little background on things you have done prior to it going wrong then they cannot help easily. I myself search these forums for problems i have and 99.9 percent of the time can fix, the other .1 percent of the time i need to reflash but i suspect you would not understand the process involved so would suggest a diffrent more simple device without meaning to sound mean
