Kurt,

If you are disappointed, you have no one to blame but yourself. Did Nokia ever call the N900 a "smart phone"? I doubt it. Many people around here were very up front telling every one what to expect and what not to expect from the N900, my self included:

You make a lot of assertions on your post without qualification. Because of that, they become false assertions. For example, you say: "Battery life is terrible, lasts at most 2-3 hrs". That statement, as is, is blatantly false. There are many people that can get 24 hours or more from their device, my self included. Yes, there are some bugs that can eat up your battery life at the moment. Those are being addressed. I my self reported on one. But still, what you should have said is: " My device's battery life is terrible. It lasts me at most 2-3 hrs." Sure, that would be a less sensationalist statement, which is surely not what you wanted from your post, but it would make it more truthful.

In your conclusion, you fail to recognize that not every one is like you. Not everyone is looking for the same features that you are apparently looking for. By simply telling *everyone* to ignore the N900 you may be misleading some for which the N900 would be the best device currently available. I myself consider it such, for my needs and personal use cases. So, there, I proved you wrong.
