Catching up the half day I stopped reading this thread.

But what would be the other option? There are many, so picking one that is better than N900 should be easy?

I don't own the device, not sure if I can for a while so I really don't know that much about it. What I know is that crappy scrolling doesn't bother me that much. I expect the device, eye-candy etc to work good enough, but a jitter or occasional stall isn't a show stopper. Based on reviews on pre-production phones crappy scrolling and slow rss doesn't bother that many others either.

All in all its slightly scary that someone can be so pedantic about a phone. With all the crap sold nowadays, I would welcome you to be the head release manager on every electronics manufacturer, much less crappy products, less waste, less wasted natural resources - I think you could save the planet all by yourself.
