Yes, I agree that we disagree and we have probably gone in circles enough times. I also feel, like you, that I've been defending my same point ad nauseum. I see where you're coming from and why you don't trust the reviews.

The only reason I've been so admant in insisting that the reviews ought to carry some weight is because the original poster asked about the phone application and your very first post in this thread presented the "majority" opinion as being negative about the phone application, which I felt was not a fair representation of the opinions out there. Obviously the original poster and others who read this thread might not share your general distrust of the reviews. If they do fine. But it seemed like worthwhile information to put out there. I don't trust all reviews by any means, but the one's I linked to I think are from people who have something worthwhile to say (whether or not I agree with everything they say). And I felt it was a more fair representation of the general opinion so far from people who've used the N900, to put those reviews out there. I trust readers of the thread can decide for themselves what sources they're willing to trust.

I also appreciate that we discussed our opinions without descending into a shouting match and I thank you for saying as much.

It was really ysss (and Mike C) who chimed in with snide and unsubstantive remarks. And it was ysss who started using language like "fanboy" in apparent reference to my posts. However in the post of yours that I was responding to, you did make a remark that picked up on what ysss was saying and you seemed to agree with it:

Perhaps you didn't realize it, but ysss's remark that you quoted appeared to be a response to me. It was the beginning of his "fanboy" critique. And so it seemed like you were agreeing with his snide remarks about me. If that's not what you meant, let me know. So I was responding to everyone who seemed to be jumping on the "fanboy" wagon in response to me.
