I don't like these kind of threads either, I just do my part in educating the users who consult me, I converted 6 users to Maemo and the N900 already, sure they need help, that's what the community is for.. we should all try to be fair for any platform and give the unbiased view on the merits of each. Surely Maemo and the N900 is not for everyone, but with help anybody could start enjoying this awesome platform and solid hardware.
