But I'm just a fanatic fanboy, so I'm obviously biassed and plainly wrong.
You're obviously upset about being called a fanboy. Look at how you're acting... overly emphatic about something that you're only a customer about and defending a stance based on only one (read: your) account.

If you can't take words like piranhas, fanboy, et al and have to resort to sheer anger, perhaps you need to remove your feelings and communicate civilly.

I have.

And what do you expect me to say, other than I am deeply sorry about them, which I already said several times?
I expect nothing from you... but I sure as heck will ask the questions about people having issues because they're going to give me the insight if my purchase will be worth it or not. The happy customers are equally important, but if problems remain unresolved, I'm not buying.

Seems like this community is interested in helping folks... mostly.

I am not Nokia, I can't fix it for them, you know?
But you're a part of an open source community which means that if you know how to code, you can fix things.

All I can do is to compassionate with them, and - to be honest - be happy that my unit is not affected. I really waited long for this device, actually ever since I got the N800 years ago and then the N810 I dreamed about Maemo device with GSM/3G radio. I got it and I enjoy it very much, and that's because I find it stable and fast. If it had serious bugs, I would complain about it as much as those other people, and as much as I complained about (or actually CONDEMNED) the N97 for all its bugs and issues and refused to review it on my site as I found it NOT SUITABLE for review. Does this also make a fanboy of me?
Nope. Makes you a passionate customer. If that's what you're upset about, a misnomer that really wasn't even waved in your direction, then so be it. I'll apologize.

And, as I wrote, in my N900 review to be published next week, I *will* include quite a long list of things I don't like about the N900 or find annoying or affecting its functionality.
And you now possess my e-mail. Feel free to send me a note when you post your review. I'd be interested to read it.

The only thing I am arguing with you about is that all I wrote was that I don't have the issue those other people have, while you stubbornly convince everyone (including me) that I said something different as if my posts weren't there for everyone to check what I said.
Takes two to argue, I'd rather discuss.

I'm not saying you've ignored those people, it just seems like talking about those things instead of talking about the positive points is going on way too much around here. I've been rather vocal about the shortcomings of the iPhone. I simply cannot go to another phone with a new set of similar problems I've had to endure - No MMS, a few UI inconsistencies, random reboots (yep, I've had 4 iPhones that have done that) and other pertinent information (read: pertinent to me due to my experiences) is what I'm personally looking at and going after.

Oh, so in addition to fanboy and fanatic I am now also the piranha... I really admire your offending skills.
Never knew a fictitious term and an Amazon River fish would lead to this. If it upset you, perhaps you need to view why. I was defending the spread of some information - which in regards to the OP, I think was brashly, harshly, and above all quite uninformative to begin with... but with more questions, not hard interrogation, the true issues and others with similar issues would come forth perhaps.

Instead... well, you know. Sad that curiosity is met with vitriol.

Me? Compare how many insulting words I wrote in my posts addressed to you (ZERO, NONE, NULL) to all those piranhas, fanatics and fanboys you throwed at me and then we'll talk about who's pushing this discussion to personal squabbles.
You wanted my information so you could send me very colorfol metaphors (paraphrase) when all I've stated were: fanboys, piranhas. Two words led to anger, a seemingly threatening tone and an typed inflection that I deem over the top in regards to what I've stated.

If anything, typing in all caps online is considered "shouting". Asking a person for their personal data so you can share your wealth of "colorful verbiage" (another paraphrase) is a threat. And I've maintained a very calm demeanor and yet the fuss is all about two words and not what I'm talking about instead... that's misdirection due to perceived anger from you.

I'd rather discuss what the findings are. I have no need to discuss personal feelings or feel threatened. That's not what this community is about... nor should it become that either.

I'm done. Again, congrats with your site, I'll await a notice as to your review. I responded earlier with my personal e-mail in this thread. I have nothing to hide, I'm a curious potential owner that wants to know the good and the bad sans Steve Jobs reality distortion field half-truths. My patience will not allow it.

Take care.
