No, it's not the best forum for venting.

If people want to vent about their N900, the best way they can do this is by phoning Nokia or posting on Nokia.com. That kind of feedback goes directly to the people who actually make the N900.

Maemo.org has only a very vague relationship to Nokia, and "venting" here will not really help anyone. That was the entire point of my original post.

The people who are on maemo.org are volunteers who are trying to improve the Maemo platform.

Just because lots of people assume something doesn't make it true. Most people think Sydney is the capital of Australia, that doesn't mean it is.
