I hope people are not in denial- especially Nokia. I know several people having issues. My one problem is weak low signal reception on the N900 for 2G, but I do not know if hardware or not.

There have been mic problems, charging issues, reboots, and some N900s not even turning on. Most new devices have problems, but no way to tell if the sample is low or high as far as a quality issues with the N900. By design, the population will be biased on this forum. It could be thousands having no problem and the few dozen that are- and most are posting on this forum- who knows? I do know that people on other forums are also posting the same issues... same people with different names?....

Does not mean the N900 is delivered by a heavenly hand though and does have issues:

1. Music stutters and stops sometimes while on the web
2. Dancing signal bars
3. Slow reacquisition of signal
4. Streaming video stutters at least for a few seconds
5. Non- streaming video also stutters for a few seconds
6. Audio high end is weaker than it should be- GSM Arena audio signatures in their review confirm this.
7. Video codecs are problematic
8. Most of the widgets are battery sucking demons
9. Wifi for a lot of people is not usable at low settings (probably a reason the option is there in the first place).
10. Interface gets laggy and icons sometime unresponsive or lag

All of these things can probably be fixed with a FW / OS update, but the perception can be the hardware is an issue.

Still some on this forum do come across as defensive fanboys. Please trust me that your love is unrequitted. The N900 does not love you back.

But the Flash is so pretty....
