So you bought this product instead of the rival for what reason? You do of course realise that this is not intended as a mass market device as well but intended for early adopters?

People do not have time to "get this" maemo/community idea they are too busy at doing their work and making money for their company and shareholders.

So if you need something that has a few hiccups, don't get one for 'early adopters'. If you want a Nokia business focused device go for the E series not the N series as that is their purpose in life!

I don't seem to be able to fidn a complete product anywhere else in the IT industry eiher to be honest. Maybe it would be something to do with the fact that time to release is run by marketing people and not the engineers? Oh and the business focused devices are the E series not the N series.

You might want to try that one with Microsoft and few other big companies. Late to market? I wasn't aware that they are late to market with the N900 - care to enlight the rest of us on how this was arrived at?
