You could have searched in a lot of places and found this. The fact it is very much in Nokia's face is probably most disturbing though.

Unacceptable for a what we would consider an antiquated phone for that matter.

After the huge last update that didn't do much of anything noticeable other than make BT worse (overall - I can't even have it connected long enough to make a call now), gave us some icons in app manager, and reduce battery life considerable (I was wondering about people commenting on this since I didn't notice a huge decrease, but for some strange reason, over the last two days I've noticed a dramatic decrease. I can have a nearly full charge, be on a call for an hour and have low battery warnings), I decided I'm not going to stress about all the WONTFIXes and push to harschmattan, just give me BT. The rest is starting to come to a simmer anyway - another update like this and it'll probably boil over because all the "professional" reviews, and personal reviews that have been giving them the benefit of the doubt (wrongly in many cases since I've seen WONTFIX on some of the complaints reviewers have had), that leniency will come to a screeching halt after the phone is halfway through it's 12-month selling cycle.

Granted, I do like the portrait browser, one-handed use ability - nice job with formatting (but, fell short in some other aspects that I can live with), decreased charge time to "full" (good I guess since the battery life has gone bad), but man I would have expected more. Seems they fixed a lot of the simpler, more irritating things and left the glaring omissions out.

Oh, I haven't researched this, but my desktop somehow gets stuck in an unusable portrait mode randomly. A couple times/day, but I figure there is code there that is base of portrait mode later. No biggie, I just have to restart.

Just occurred to me, like a lot of other people, I've dropped my standard just to have the power of maemo and say "I can live with it" far too much on the N900. I see this statement or general acceptance of what is there a lot.

Like I've said, if they don't straighten out a lot in Fremantle (or make Herschmattan available to the N900 - last time I looked a month ago the Chief something or another said they weren't sure if it'd be compatible), after years of being a true Nokia loyalist and helping sell some of their phones / tablets (primarily N-series), I'll probably back to Android. As it sits, the trade-off is more than worth it and if it stays that way, it'll be the same.

I get a shocked "what's that?!!!" question on the Nexus One every second and the N900 people ask me about my camera :-) The Nexus One isn't great - yet. Android needs to be able to take advantage of the 512/512 RAM/ROM and the snapdragon, but I see 2010 the year of 512/512 and 1GHz processors. Wait, isn't the N900 technically a 2010 phone? :-/
