It's interesting to me as a non tech person who is quickly trying to get up to speed on Linux, porting things over, programming languages, etc etc, that the people who have reported not having too many problems are the ones who seem to have the most experience with programming, software etc etc side of things. I perfectly expect my inexperienced self to cause a host of problems from my lack of knowledge when I HOPEFULLY get my N900 here in Germany. Just wondering what the background is of Megacrazy, solpete and gerbick. The people on this thread who have reported the least amount of problems were those given pre-production models. Those given pre-production models have to be a somebody in the sense that they weren't giving them out to random people on the street. It's obvious the N900 has problems, I just don't understand the venom in some of these attacks on the device. My job is to teach mediation and negotiation skills here in Germany. Your arguments megacrazy, solpete and gerbick are merit based with facts. However, how you are presenting those arguments and failing to recognize what others are saying is quite disheartening. No one isn't saying you are having the problems you are having. They are just pointing out they haven't had those problems and even biased websites (Endgadget) said the browser experience is second to none.

So, what I've got from the posts in this thread are, some of you are saying what numerous other reviews, youtube videos and members here are saying is the strength of the device (browser) is actually not on par with your expectations or even the performance of older devices? There is a consistent lag, white spaces, gets worse the during use? In addition, there are a host of other bugs that make you question why you bought the device in the first place yes?

Now, the other camp, txtrat, my-symbian and others are saying yes, there are bugs, however the issue with the browser scrolling and random reboots is not one of them. Yes?

Ok, so the question is, txtrat and my-symbian.. where did you get YOUR N900s because I want mine to be made by THAT person cause these other guys sound like they got ripped off. I am willing to compensate you for that information of course to ensure I will not turn into an irate childish boob who starts threads that completely skew the mindset of potential buyers of the device.

And that's my 1 euro worth of opinion for today. Now back to reading manuals on programming languages!
