I really can't do much about you being 100% proof to arguments. The only thing you're able to accept is that people AGREE with you. So sorry, but in such circumstances I can't serve you with anything you'd consider valid.

you used my-symbian.com to demonstrate (very light site) instead of engadget
I had no idea what website you used as my video was an answer (requested by my forum users) to a QUOTE from your message posted on my forums, which did not mention which site you had problems with. I found this thread some 20 hours after publishing the video. Dates speak for themselves.

- you scrolled pages at a very low zoom level so there is basically almost nothing to scroll
I scrolled the pages at a zoom level I normally use. If you're used to iPhone's zoom levels where you constantly need to scroll left & right and up & down then it really isn't my fault.

the RSS reader had 2 text entries you were scrolling which was addressed in my RSS video
Ask those who host the site the feed comes from to be more active. I really can't do much about them publishing so rarely.

you did not address the issues about the music widget I brought up at all but instead used media player.
Because in your original message you didn't say ANYTHING about the widget. Instead you ran a competition of namecalling about the N900 not supporting A2DP at all. Be more precise next time and you'll get more precise feedback.

Then, the posts you made here are about the iPhone alone. Why?
Because I am a free man in a free world and I can freely express my opinions about anything, including the iPhone, which for me isn't a holy cow.

Why are we comparing it to the iPhone
And what would you expect people to compare it to? Feature phones?

when I posted several videos that clearly showed how crappy the scrolling is.
Your videos aren't religious dogmas no one is allowed to disagree with. What's cr*ppy for you does not automatically have to be cr*ppy for everyone else.

Who cares if the iPhone is smooth or not?
Well, according to what you compared the N900 with, it's..... YOU.

We are talking about the N900 here.
I have different sense of "talking" than constantly using words like cr*p, garbage, etc. That's where we differ.

Why are we bringing up the age of the device? THIS IS MAEMO 5, not 1, 2, 3, or 4. What are you saying?
And what does it have to do with scrolling in browser getting unsmooth for 3 miliseconds? Do you consider it a platform-wide issue? Or maybe it's the Linux kernel responsible for that?

Why are we trying to compare things to 2-3 years ago when the iPhone was out? THIS IS NOT 3 YEARS AGO.
Because three years from now, when Nokia releases N990 and it has an issue, you will say that it is a three year old platform and such issues shouldn't be happening. Do you sense the analogy?

I still get accusations of how petty my problems are.
No offence, but your problems (no matter if petty or serious) don't interest me much and I have much better things to do than recording such videos at 4:00 in the morning. I posted the video ON REQUEST of users of my forum so that THEY can jugde themselves if the issues are of any importance FOR THEM. THEY requested it so they got it.

1. Browser has some sort of performance degradation issues. The longer the phone is on, the slower it seems to get.
2. The browser crashes randomly. (at least once a day so far)
3. Device was not accepting any calls even though it was running perfectly. A friend called me on my other phone and I rebooted the N900 bringing it back to normal. Obviously the phone part somehow crashed with no indication what so ever.
4. Device was stuck in portrait mode just tonight. I had to reboot the device to make it switch back to landscape again.
I'd suggest that you contact Nokia and have the unit replaced. The Korean worker who assembled your phone must have had a very bad day or too much alcohol the day before. That's the only explanation I can give considering that the browser on my device does not crash and the phone doesn't stop accepting calls. And, as I said, I've been using the N900 daily since the beginning of September.

Or maybe, considering that I got the phone from Nokia, they made a BETTER unit especially for me

You want to talk about GPUs and graphics performance?
As long as it explains why scrolling on the N900 may be slower, which is the issue you are complaining about, YES.

How about the fact that the phone can't scroll 5 images without noticeable deformation and tearing of the images?
Yeah, how about it? Strangely, it doesn't seem to be happening on mine, and not even on the early proto I had before.

Stop making excuses for this device and Nokia.
I couldn't be farther from making excuses for Nokia than I am. My N900 preview had a longer list of drawbacks than advantages and the full review I'm going to post soon will have an even longer one, now that I know that some of the issues weren't prototype only but got to the final release.

But my experiences just CAN be different than yours, things that annoy or disappoint me CAN be different than what annoys or disappoints you, and I also MAY have different NEEDS and EXPECTATIONS than you causing that what makes the N900 a "crap" and a "garbage" for you, for me isn't of absolutely ANY importance.

For instance, I'd happily agree to have that scrolling issue in the browser over the next FIVE YEARS in exchange for Nokia giving me voice dialling (a must for me) and full navigation software ASAP.

As you can see: DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DIFFERENT NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS. Just because for someone your issues aren't that important (while some others - uniportant for you - are) doesn't make one a paid Nokia fanboy.

They have no excuses left after the slew of crappy phones they put out in the past few years (which I own quite a few of). [...] Nokia is not the measuring stick anymore and has not been for some time. Learn from your mistakes and improve your products or go die a lonely death. There are so many other options out there that nobody will care Nokia...really.
And knowing all the above so clearly, why did you get such a cr*ppy product of such a cr*ppy company IN THE FIRST PLACE? Shouldn't you be more CAUTIOUS if you have such a tragic experiences with them and their cr*ppy phones?

I'd say next time test drive their product before buying, or blame yourself...
