the only thing i take from the review is that the n900 is far from polished, largley because it's open source it would seem. isn't this also the same reason that such complaints can be fixed?

i don't consider my hope that the Maemo 5 experience will be improved to be naive, so i am excited to be getting a powerful, groundbreaking phone that will improve over time.

and anyway i'm a techie and a gadget freak - i like my devices to be a) a challenge to use b) do stuff they're not supposed to (e.g. snes emulation - the main reason i got it. really.) c) impress people who don't have one.
