Hi all,

I was so excited to get my N900 today, but after playing with it, it left me perplexed. Maybe I am doing something wrong, not sure. I haven't loaded any new apps or messed with it (tweaking it), everything I am using was installed from the factory. These are what I find odd.

How come Youtube videos look like crap, it's not smooth, somewhat pixelated and not crisp quality. Even if I am using Wifi connection. The Youtube videos themselves were HQ and some were HD and look very nice on my computer, I was expecting the N900 to look just as good due to a nice hi-res 3.5" screen, but that's not the case. Is everyone getting the same results? From my memory at the Apple store, the iphone 3GS had nicer Youtube playing quality. Is there anyway to improve the Youtube viewing quality on the N900 to rival the iphone?

I was expecting some nice pics taken with the N900 camera, but the indoor shots I got were grainy, washed out, and somewhat blurry. Compared to my older SE K810i (which I thought had decent image quality, not stellar), the N900 is quite bad. I thought the 5MP camera in the N900 was the same or at least on par with the renowned Nokia N82 camera. Are ppl having bad indoor pictures taken with the N900?

I fully charged my battery and turned off the Wifi connection at 6PM. I did some web browsing using T-Mobile EDGE for two hours (I don't have 3G plan yet), and checked my email for 10 mins, played some music for 30 mins, and Youtubing for 45 mins. My battery died at 10:30PM. That's about 4 hrs, that seems way too short, especially if I didn't really use/stress the N900 that much. Anybody have similar experience?

I hope there is some way to fix these issues that I am having. I really like this phone.
