Many people misunderstood the point of N900 being an internet tablet with phone functionality as being a smartphone. When N900 is marketed as a smartphone people go all crazy and naive without studying its history. Then they expect N900 to function as a smartphone with very high expectations but to only realise their own stupidity that N900 lacks loads of fundamental features that are normally found on a smartphone.

Its ludicruous really, people let marketing get in their way of thinking, then they assume too much in which they get shot down like a moth trying to get to darkside of a light bulb only to find itself being burnt.

I agree with many posts on this thread, you simply have too many things installed which broke your setup. As for assuming that N900 would `just work' like many other android, iOS, etc devices, that is just showing your blatant ignorance. Have you ever seen a rooted android or jailbroken iOS running beta applications where things would actually break to make you pissed off? Have you ever seen where cyanogen mods for android on certain unsupported devices just bricks android? How about installing iphonelinux and realising that you have lots of broken setups here and there? These are all the normal things to expect with any smartphone when you go messing with things that you shouldn't have been messing with. The case gets a little more worse when a person's incompetency of acknowledging N900's shortfalls is married with installing things that were known to have an effect on the device such as power-kernel, such as programs from extras-testing or extras-devel, such as overclocking, etc. Yet ironically people just don't realise it until its too late.

On a final note, N900 is a geek's toy. The history of Nokia Nxxx devices has never been marketed for widespread usage, it was only intended for a very niche market and the same could be said about N900 except for the fact that Nokia got too desperate for the wrong reasons.
so i should role back t PR1.3 and put nothing else on the computer with a phone and a camera built in and put nothing else on board and it should work? lol. god id be even further back from todays tablets than ever. the N900 is good no great but it has a lot of pitfalls.ive said this before and ill say it again. my phone has been the same from day 1 before cssu and overclocking and the rest. it just came to ahead when im trying to get general snaps of my friends wedding day, the last thing i expected to happen at that moment was for the n900 to look so stupid againt the iphones and htc's but the fact is it did and yes i was pissed!. so computer or not it has a cam on it so im gonna use it am i not??. like i said ill prob keep it as a play thing but i will move on up todate with some thing eles.
