Again, "mainstream" n900 owners are a majority that probably should NOT own it. Maemo is a BRAND NEW OS. It's GOING to have problems.

Nokia is genius. The N900 is landing in the hands of the people they want it to. The people who can TRULY see the implications and power of the device. NOT the people who are going to b!tch because it scrolls a little quirky sometimes.

Look through these forums. It's loaded with very intelligent people that are doing AMAZING things with the n900, things other phones can't even hold a candle to. Now you tell me, are they crying because some of the visuals are not as lightning fast as another phones? Nope. That's because that crap comes later. It's fluff. It's stuff intended to appeal to the masses to make them happy. The same person that would be attracted to a shiny piece of gold so they can hold it in their hands and stare at it. Meanwhile those of us who truly "get it" toss the gold and grow an orchard so we can feed ourselves. Stuff that matters.

And speaking on behalf of "mainstream," I live in the United States and I have not seen ONE commercial, ad, radio sound byte, or anything advertising the N900. They are NOT trying to make it an iPhone killer. They are letting it "seep" into the Geek world and watching it bloom from an open, hacker friendly device, into what will probably be a true "killer-app phone" on Maemo 6 and devices to come.
