I've been actively involved in the cell phone community for years. I know some of the earliest and most recognized reviewers of cell phones personally. The first I ever heard of this Eldar dude was a short while ago after he posted his first review of the N900...

The thing is, this review/preview of his spoke very highly of the N900. I don't have access to the statistics for this forum but I did perceive a membership jump. General interest was so great for the N900 that a cell site that I am involved in added a new Maemo forum within days of this Eldar dudes preview. Other new Maemo sites also seemed to appear.

Then Nokia "officially" released the N900's specs and more people surface who have tried the phone or are beta testers. Some are known to this forum. No one reports random crashes or buggy firmware.


After all the attention this guy initially got, why did his N900 all of sudden start crashing?

The above^ is my recollection of the time line and is not meant to be a declaration of fact. If my recollection is factually incorrect, please provide the correct information and I will edit my post.
