Good thread. Had mine now for 3 days, an have been glued to it for all of those three days.

I love it, but I find myself worrying that I am not making the most of the device. As a newcomer to Maemo at first it was daunting.

Some observations so far. The phone is better than i expected, I particularly like the way that I can set it so i get to the phone app just by holding the N900 in portrait fashion, but a major frustration is that you cannot edit contacts in this mode, you have to go to the contacts mode. But in contacts you can make calls, so a bit odd that you can't do the opposite. Ovi maps is confusing and as yet no turn by turn directions. The media app is poor too, IMHO, getting album art to show is very hit and miss, need to do a bit more reading up on that. FM transmitter however is a big hit, and like it's auto turn off feature too.

Particularly disappointed with the standard sync options. I expected OVI or Nokia PC Suite to do something. Ended up having to fire up My N95 and bluetoothing stuff over.

However in general I am more than happy, like most people here i bought this phone based on it's potential and not necessarily the out of the box functions. And given what is already being developed for this device i can see it being a very powerful tool.
