It didn't take long, did it? :-D


5. Ovi, Nokia messaging. OK, this is not necessarily a problem with this device per se, but I am on a roll. I hate that nokia is forcing me to consume their SERVICES and not just their DEVICES.
Who is FORCING you to do anything?

Unlike certain other manufacturers I could mention, Nokia lets you replace almost all of the built-in apps with third party stuff if you want to (heck on Maemo you can replace the whole OS if you want to!).

Many of the third party options are even available through the built-in software (for example Share Online lets you upload pictures to Ovi Share or Flickr or Vox).


Messaging is a nice client except for the fact that every email I receive has to go through effin Finland.
If you don't like Messaging install some other e-mail app. There are plenty of them out there.


4. Nice processor, why not take off the governor? 600mhz, come one, this thing can do almost twice that, let it rip, buy Mugen stock.
Probably because most users wouldn't want to be constantly recharging their phones.


Yeah, so it is the same as the iphone, would it have hurt to just make it a wee bit bigger than iphone?
Physically bigger screens = less battery life and more expensive hardware

BTW the N900 is higher resolution than the iPhone.


3. No portrait mode for apps other than phone. Huh? This makes no sense, so much for any hope of one handed operation.
AFAIK no one has confirmed this.
