I have to say though. Coming from "that other phone" I have been inundated with this kind of stuff for the past 3 years. My phone shopping (months of obsessive fanaticism) led me to a point where I had to choose what I wanted in a device and find the best one for me (ie. the revelation is that there is no perfect device). My day with an N900 has really cemented my feelings about how pointless all this bickering and whatnot is.

I've already run into a few quirks and shortcomings, but I have to say they really don't bother me that much. I probably wouldn't even recommend an N900 to everyone (although for the people I would recommend it to I would totally beat them senseless about it, hehe). I'm totally happy with it and feel awesome not being stressed by all the silly back and forth that I can now leave to the phone fanatics.

I love my N900.

I love the community as well, which is only possible due to the open nature of the phone.
