I would agree about the negative and disagree about the positive. I dislike "My N900 is awesome" as much as "My N900 sucks" and if I never see an "I think it's great - go buy an iPhone" post it will be too soon.

As an N810 user, when I found this forum, it was filled with useful information. Sometimes hard to find, sometimes contradictory, but useful. I don't recall ever seeing the vitriol we now have on both sides.

If I had to pick an indication that the discussions were going to go downhill, I would say it's when the phrase "Fixed in Fremantle" entered the N810 world. I no more cared that the (at the time) rumored N900 would do what I wanted my N810 to do than I cared that the iPod Touch would do it. Now we see more and more posts pointing to the next big think ("Handled in Harmattan"?) instead of dealing with how a user can or cannot accomplish what they want on the N900 with Maemo 5.

Like the N810, the N900 is a flawed device that does some things well and other things not so well or not at all. This community can best serve its members by trying to help figure out how to maximize the usefulness of the N900.

If it can also remember that there are still Diablo users with our aging N8x0 devices, that would be nice as well.
