I am upset about calling me what I am not. And not just a fanboy, but also fanatic, piranha, and more. If I called you a troll for example, wouldn't you be upset (that's of course assuming that you aren't one, which I am no longer sure about)?

It's really interesting that after I published my N900 preview (which got over 400.000 page impressions) all comments I got (also on this forum) were saying that the preview was highly objective, informative and well balanced. No one called me a fanboy or Nokia fanatic.

Then suddenly you come and call me a fanatic fanboy, and that's only because I stated that I do not have the "random reboot" issue a handful of other people are having, and I don't consider the "scrolling issue" a major problem as IE on my Core i7 / Nvidia 9500 GT / 4 GB triple-channel DDR3 PC actually scrolls LESS smoothly than that.

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.
I'm just describing MY experiences with the device. If you only expect people to COMPLAIN and you don't accept that one can be SATISFIED with a product then it is YOUR problem, and not mine.

"Defending a stance based on only one (read: your) account"? Now, this couldn't be more funny. Whose experiences I am supposed to express? Someone elses, not my own ones? And I am not defending anything, just STATING facts about how my N900 works.

As I said, I acknowledge that several people have this issue and I am sorry about it. But I will not join their complaints for the most simple and obvious reason being that I DON'T have that issue myself. And that for THREE MONTHS now and even on the early prototype I had before.

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.
Sheer anger? I already suggested you to visit eye doctor, didn't I?

Regarding your fanboys and fanatics, I will take that WHEN DESERVED. I will NOT take it for just coming here and stating that I don't have the issues a handful of people have and I don't consider the (alleged) scrolling issue a problem *for me*.

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.
If your intention is to have a well balanced opinion about the device, you should treat BOTH positive and negative opinions about it EQUALLY seriously. Yet for you only negative opinions seem to be reliable, while positive opinions make one a fanatic fanboy.

Seems like this community is interested in helping folks... mostly.
And you expect me to help those having issues HOW? By starting to complain about issues I do NOT have?

But you're a part of an open source community which means that if you know how to code, you can fix things.
And so are you. So why don't you start fixing the bug instead of expecting others to do it.

Makes you a passionate customer.
That's very interesting. I didn't know that I am a passionate customer of manufacturers of shoes, toilet paper and toothbrushes, which I also don't have serious issues with, and thus, when asked, I state that they work well for me.

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.
If you want to read it, just check my website from time to time. No offence, but emailing you about it is at the very bottom of the list of things I consider important to do.

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 am simply expressing my experiences. What does not bother me, simply doesn't, and I won't be saying otherwise just because it is now more fashionable to bash than to express satisfaction.

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
And I really can't help you with confirming to you that the N900 randomly reboots like crazy, if mine doesn't.

If it upset you, perhaps you need to view why.
I know perfectly clear what upsets me about you: your inability to accept that not everyone has to have the issues a handful of people have, and your inability to understand that if I don't have the issue then I say I don't have it. And also your inability to accept that while that slight scrolling unsmoothness may make some consider the N900 a "garbage" and "cr*p", others may consider it the least important thing on this planet.

I was defending the spread of some information
Yeah, and I was disturbing the spread of that information, right? How? Did I remove posts of those who complain? Did I ban them or something?

No, I just wrote that I don't have the issues they have.

If that in your opinion prevents the spread of some information then what can I say. I'm speechless.

the true issues and others with similar issues would come forth perhaps.
"True issues"... so, in your opinion, only those who have the issue are true, and those who don't have the issue (and dare to say it) are untrue... Now, that's a very interesting approach.

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
I don't know where you see the anger, while the only thing I told you was that if you want this discussion to get personal and involve name calling then maybe we should switch to private correspondence where I'll happily repay your invectives.

And YES, I do consider calling me a fanatic fanboy and a piranha offending, if all I did was saying that I don't have issues some other people have.

And the way you consider disagreeing with you "sheer anger" while you're incapable to understand that calling others "fanatic fanboys" and "piranhas" is plainly offending and boorish, makes this discussion completely POINTLESS.

If anything, typing in all caps online is considered "shouting".
If anything, calling your interlocutors fanatics, fanboys and piranhas is considered boorish.

Asking a person for their personal data so you can share your wealth of "colorful verbiage" (another paraphrase) is a threat.
I *never* asked you for personal data. *All* I wrote, was a suggestion to switch to private correspondence if you want this discussion to be personal. Scroll a couple of posts back and check. Apparently it's not just eyesight issues you have but also memory problems.

Furthermore, by "private correspondence" I meant using the "Private Messaging" feature of this board, which has nothing to do with your email. If you don't know such a feature exist, maybe you should get more familiar with this board's functionality.

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...
For two days in your posts addressed to me you are not talking about ANYTHING related to N900, but you only keep PATRONIZING and ADMONISHING me, and giving me lessons of how you are entitled to call me a fanatic and piranha for daring to come here and saying that I don't have the issues those guys have, and how disagreeing with that by me is "sheer anger".

that's misdirection due to perceived anger from you.
I wish your perception worked bi-directionally and you were also capable of perceiving when YOU start spurting with anger and calling your interlocutors piranhas, fanatics, fanboys and such. Sadly, your perception works in just one direction, and with out-of-tune sensitivity.

I'd rather discuss what the findings are. I have no need to discuss personal feelings or feel threatened.
So WHY DON'T YOU and instead for two days you've been producing all these personal squabbles? I already suggested you to stop, as there's actually NOTHING to further talk about between us, but you just can't finish moaning about me.

That's not what this community is about...
Right, it isn't. So why don't you just stop.

I'm done.
I deeply hope so.
