Rather, I think the pattern is that people only appreciate the N900 when they don't have it any more. Android is a serious let-down on some areas, and Google Play lacks even the most basic search mechanisms. Which is funny, since Google know search better than anyone. They don't care about our preferences, they want to show us the things that suits their purposes.

And Google Maps on roaming is just such a bad idea that once people have experienced it, they will always bring that out. Because honest to <insert deity here>, it's better NOT to have maps and preparing for it.
