I'm starting to think to you have 6 hrs of battery you seriously need to find out what's draining so much or ever reflash the eMMC and firmware all together...

@marcinw
If you have any bugs to report there's bugzilla. If you have a microphone issue, send it back for servicing.

As for support I don't know other companies than nokia that release updates for 3 years after a device was released, see N95.
How often do you want to see new firmwares? every two weeks?
And do you actually think the community builds the new firmwares for N900?

The shiny shiny kids
Like any new expensive device, n900 has landed in the hands of a number of people who sadly have more money than maturity. These are the people who are constantly demanding the next thing, the shiny apps, the latest game. They bought this device because it was new, shiny, super-duper. They happily declare their willingness to pay for whatever they want money no object. The idea that what they want isn’t there, and no amount of shouting, bawling or stamping their feet will bring it doesn’t seem to sink in. Think of the posting equivalent of a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket: “I want more apps now!” “I want Ovi store now!” “I want the firmware update now!” Or maybe Verrucca Salt
I know you're all like "me want new firmware NOW!" , relax, me want it too. But till then there are no bugs that impair the usability in any way. If you installed from -devel or -testing and got a dependency that drains your battery, that's your problem, you're supposed to know ow to fix if you installed it in the first place.

N900 - something is not working (because of design, logistic mistakes), but for many people it will be because of Linux inside
Such device could be revolution 2 years ago, not now.
=> you do realize it's the first device made with a REAL untouched OS? This device will be a revolution for the next 2 years aswell.

As for linux, nokia never said it's for the mainstream segment and yes linux is quite a popular OS these days as more and more manufacturers deliver systems with linux embedded or with the option to do so.

Why don't you try to bring your contribution in a positive way like bugzilla, there's plenty of things for you to complain there I guess, or simply find another device, selling a N900 is not hard, believe me
