Reloading once you get the checkered patterns is on par with other devices or even faster sometimes. Set the N900 side by side with a 3Gs or a Droid...and if the scrolling is just as smooth (do not confuse with fast) I will not sell the N900 but eat it

un-named_user, I have noticed a lot of the problems you described but was too lazy to write it all out. Plus, it's the scrolling that really bothers me
Hey MegaCrazy - I remember you are the guy who paid $100 to take someone's place on the waiting list at the NYC store. So I believe you are for real (not a troll) and that you did not start with an agenda (although maybe you did start with unrealistic expectations). But your impressions interest me.

What I want to know is why haven't you just reflashed your device as others suggested? Can you do that and report back to us?

It seems some people are seeing the scrolling problems you mention and others are not.

From all the threads I'm reading, I am starting to think the situation is that some people are getting devices that are not functioning correctly. Other people are getting devices that are working much better. If that is the case, then you should find out rather than just assuming that every N900 has the same issues you are seeing. (Or are you just being extremely nit-picky?)

BTW, my N900 will arrive tomorrow. If mine has major issues (such as scrolling problems) like you mention, I guarantee you I will get support (probably here on the forums) and get them resolved.
