I agree with quite a few of the things you talk about but you do have to admit...you sound bitter more than anything. I mean dude you're complaining about the box being too small for the price! lol There is no phone...I repeat no phone that does EVERYTHING bad. Unlike you when I opened the box I saw a masterpiece. A phone made for its UI. There is no one that stands next to me when I'm using my phone (iphone or android users) that doesn't ask me "whoa what is that?!" That's testament to how good the phone looks.

I'm not going to repeat what people are saying as to how N900 and N9 are targeted to different crowds. That was never a hidden fact. Even Nokia said it themselves. To keep trying to compare them on every level will make you lose it. The N900 is a computer that gives you extra options and power but completely sucks at being at being a phone. The size, the intuitiveness, response to incoming calls in the middle of a task, etc. just to name a few bad points. The N9 is a phone that gives you a full phone experience. It lacks in some areas but that's my main message. Neither is better than the other in ALL regards.

And how many times do people have to be reminded that when the N900 came out it was as much a crappy device as an excellent one (don't even talk about the iphone when it first came out...utter crap). The N900 is where it is today because of a fantastic community and TIME. The good thing about these open phones is that you never know what's coming next. I remember when the N9 was announced earlier and people were talking about a possible serious lack of apps you would've thought it would have only 5 apps on the phone!! This phone is 2 months old on a new OS. I repeat new OS. Give it time buddy. The community is small but they did more with the N900 than apple or android have done giving their resources in a similar amount of time. Give it a month or two and if you still feel EXACTLY the same way I will be the one to help you type another essay lol
