This is equally as frustrating to a new user as a feature that does not work as advertised, since the end result for that user is exactly the same.

I would bet that most N900 users do not even know about these forums, and even then, these forums are a horrible source of information on 'how to' use the N900's many features.. when compared to the self-help sites that Apple/Google have set up for their devices.
I understand and agree with what your saying, but these comments are made as if he's got a true knowledge of the phone and has decided that its nothing but a terrible device. If you read this forum for about 5 minutes you can find out most information about the phone and how to fix a lot of the problems this guy claims to be an expert on.

Maybe we as the community should create an N900 Wiki, containing guides on questions most new people have asked. Maybe then the random ******** posts will cease.
