You know they COULD get it smooth, but because of schedules or whatever they didn't spend the time on it to perfect it.

And I think that's the problem. It seems like Apple doesn't release something until it's as perfect as possible. They don't even talk about stuff that is in the pipeline - the iPhone was only mentioned 5 months before rollout when for the most part the hardware and software was done. Nokia talks about the future devices way too early and they end up rushing everything to get it out as quickly as possible because everyone knows it's coming.

I think Nokia would be better served by NOT telling us what the roadmap is and releasing products after they're good and ready - They can't keep rushing everything to make some target that the marketers, and not the engineers, set.

Exactly! We all know Nokia can do better ( Ex: E71, E72, E90-2 ), and this phone was suppose to be on par if not kill the iPhone. Nokia is expected to do better because of their long history with making unique and in high demand products. It's a given that when a new product comes out it'll undoubtedly have bugs, but when so many people have said that the OS for the N900 is unfinished, allot of bricked devices ( via maemo and Amazon forums ), and mics just don't work, obviously Nokia isn't treating this product like the flagship device it should be.
