Agree, ever since the introduction of WAP the mobile web sites are not helping the forward evolution of mobile computing experience.
A few productive exceptions such as m.zoho.com set aside.

Let's not forget to take some screenshots while these mobile sites are still around so that we may have a good laugh with them after they are sent to the museum of hopeless technology where they will blend in well with this

Ok, we got to hand it, they did include a keyboard.




The above can truly happen in many scenario's.
Battery drain can be an issue.
But there are ways around. Just close more stuff you won't be needing will give you a much faster camera startup and longer battery stamina and prevent missed calls.
I use the program Alarmed to switch 3.5G to 2.5G after one hour, that helps to save battery when connected to IM / Skype.

It is not in my habit to close open programs all the time but through the years I learned to accept this to be beneficial for the N900. I am more than happy that it allows me to close the programs myself instead of acting "smartphone".

Jolla is good in leaving programs open without much battery drain. But I can't copy paste or take better pictures.

After using other devices, including Androids the drawbacks of the N900 are a small price to pay for the extra's it has to offer.

A the time, almost 5 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised by the camera quality, but now its age is really showing. However in good light I find the color rendition and auto white balance more pleasing than on the Jolla and it does the job for document scanning.
