I had today cancelled my pre order order with Nokia. After seeing all the issues with mail for exchange 2003 not supported on N900 on this forum and mic problems I don't want the hassle of a problem phone. Also don't want to have to deal with nokia after sales. I will, like you, look for an alternative phone or get N900 from phones4u next week in store then it is easy to return. Am interested in alternatives to N900 too.
