Good points about Nokia's intent. I am just saying that a lot of people (a lot) are looking at this phone as a high end smart phone with GREAT internet and media playback.

A lot of people will buy the device that are assuming it has the phone functions most are used to and be unhappy. This will create bad (and unfair) buzz about the device.

Folks, it looks like a smart phone that has some serious internet and media power that also happens to be a computer. People will come and perceptions too. Nokia should just add the function and be done with it and accept success.

Summary:

If most of the people "get it" that the N900 is a computer first, it would not be an issue. My bet is that is lower on the list of a lot of people's assumptions due to the hunger for a non iPhone, power packing, internet ready, super media - phone.

N900 is it. Just add the functions.
