I'm not complaining about missing apps, although more would be nice but that's not entirely Nokias fault.

What I am frustrated by is the out of the box experience - email could/should be better by now, RSS is a very useful app but the out of the box version hasn't been updated since it was first released in 2005. I'm frustrated because I just can't see Apple doing to it's customers what Nokia does to us.

You buy an Apple device and, out of the box it will work and it will work very well. N900? Yeah, it works, kinda. If you're lucky you might be able to download a third party app to replace the built-in apps, as they're a bit rubbish and Nokia hasn't had the time or resources to update them. Maybe when you buy the next device they'll have been updated. Or maybe not.

If Nokia want to compete they really need to start thinking more about delivering a top notch end-product rather than this progressively improving project which is becoming an expensive past time for many of us.
