Yes, too much trouble for an inferior user experience that still leaves nagging doubts…

In closing on this most auspicious week…

I really can’t even explain why I love this device. And it definitely is the hardware and software together – it is a combo thing for me, the two coming together to make one extraordinary device.

I bought the N900 the day it came out in the U.S. and had to open up an another phone line on a different carrier to run it at its fastest capacity. It wasn’t that long either before we found out Nokia wasn’t going to continue with maemo. You would think I would be infuriated spending that kind of cash (I am not made of money) on an OS that wasn’t going to be supported. I was so happy with the N900 from the beginning I wasn’t mad. I am still shocked by that, because I am the type that would get mad. But I didn’t feel “burned” – I still don’t.

Other devices have come and gone (unboxed and then boxed, I never give away my hardware) but the N900 still remains on my desk or by my bed day after day and night after night.

I don’t see that changing and look forward to N900 week 2015!
