No doubt this happens. Ive thought about this many times on forums like this. Staff of other phone brands, fanboys, irate consumers who have just tied theirself into the wrong contract with wrong phone but need self reassurance to bolster these ill-informed purchases. All of these groups must hate the "i love my N900" posts and will counter every one with negative feedback using info they have found elsewhere in the forum.
I think if someone genuinely owns the N900 and has genuine reason to even be on the forum then they SHOULD be listened to with empathy and not a barrage of abuse. They should though , have researched the £500 purchase beforehand as to not have any nasty surprises.
If people post Non-constructive posts, to create negativity, then they should automatically be ignored and not replied to.
Who cares if someone has not researched a £500 purchase and got burned because it doesn't do portrait except in dialer mode. There has to be some kind of accountability on the consumers behalf. We have cooling off periods for disgruntled rich idiots. Hand it back, get money and buy something different.
If you want some problem with the phone fixed then put it to the community,(excellent system and really well structured).
I think people, we need to put on our bullsh.it deflectors to identify this kind of behavoir as to not waste too much time with them.
Sorry for such the long post, but i feel too much negativity being nourished in favour of progression by positive action. Ive seen the complaints and just laugh at most of them. I'll hopefully recieve my N900 next week, and if I feel I have purchased the wrong product then I can only blame myself for being an early adopter.
Lets take each post with a pinch of salt at least till some kind of integrity can be ascertained from the content of the post
Hope I haven't offended anyone ........including you fruitphone and schmoogle users and staff.
can we take a positive from the OP and report a bug with bluetooth when using alarm using constructive criticism to progress the device for all? I think thats what the forums for isn't it?
