I mean the same thing was butter smooth on the n95 with much worse hardware.

If you play bounce...that game is beautiful. It has much better graphics than anything else I've seen on a phone. So how come the OS has such a hard time scrolling a page\picture\you name it? This needs to be fixed yesterday. I am tired of owning nice nokia phones that are all crippled in one way or another.

Maemo is not an enthusiast OS anymore, it's Nokia's chance to play with the big boys. Sorry but Symbian has been dead for a while and I seriously doubt it will be going anywhere in the future. Use this phone or an iPhone for a month and then go back to a Symbian phone. You will feel like you're using a dumbphone, not a supposed smartphone.

So why all the nit-picking with the N900? Because this phone has the potential to be an iphone killer and I want to see it succeed. However, it will not happen if everyone is finding excuses left and right for a company that's been sleeping at the wheel for years now. They're finally starting to wake up...hopefully. As consumers we set the standards so stop being thankful for this phone and kissing maemo butt or you'll end up with a N920 in 5 months with more crappy software.

Regarding "the nitpicking", I would like to know your thoughts on this:

What is the best way to see Maemo succeed? (Maybe post reply over in that thread?)
