Please, everybody, drop this thing already. When they added the phone features, it stopped being a tablet and became a phone. This "it's not a phone" stuff is only discussed here, to the rest of the world, this is a phone just as much as any other modern smartphone. Deal with it. People coming here expect it to be a phone and Nokia is not selling any differently than their other smartphones. None of them are called "phones" in Nokia speak. Technically, all cell phones are mobile computers, always have been. The fact that this one runs Linux makes very little difference to most people.

There's the Maemo greeters program here. How about leaving these threads to the greeters so they can treat people posting about their disappointment with respect instead of dismissing their concerns and claiming they are stupid for thinking it's a phone? Stop the RTFM attitude already, these forums have really gone down the sewers lately.
I agree this is a phone the only way your going to convinced me its not is if you carry a n900 and a phone in your pocket. When I bought my n95 8gb Nokia was touting it as a mobile computer and this was years ago. Its called marketing i mean yes it does computer like things but it has a thumb keyboard A8 cortex chip things that other smartphones have, therefore my friends its a phone.

I have had my n900 for a few days and yes battery dies pretty fast hope that gets better with time and scrolling can be hit or miss but overall I really like this device a whole lot. This phone has excellent sound quality, it can play a lot of videos I throw at it. I think we need to give this phone atleast two firmware updates before we can pass our final judgement. I think its really premature to say this is an exepriment gone bad or that this phone doesn't deliver.
