Hi,

Just wanted to contribute to people reading this forum.

I ordered mine at end of November in Finland and got it by 14th of December. Unfortunately I had bad luck, meaning that my N900 started rebooting after few hours of usage. It continued for a day and then the phone bricked.

I read all the forum posts and because of no permanent fix I returned it to the store. I got a new one just before Christmas.

So now using the new one about a week I can confirm that there are bad apples (I am pretty confident it is HW related), but the good ones are great (not a single reboot or glitch with pretty heavy usage)! The battery is much better than I expected (2-3 days with reasonable web surf, camera action, music listening, etc), and the usability is something I have wished for using HTC Windows mobile phones for last three years.

I am a geek and engineer, so I like stuff that can be configured and changed, but I can tell that the functionality is much more "main stream" than I expected. So everyone who is contemplating buying the phone, I think the forum posts relating to "problems" is skewed too heavily as the happy users are enjoying the life with N900 and forgetting to post here
