Okay on a serious note let me give you a usercase to show how bad the phone element can be. In Nigeria there are no free call or text contract packages. You just buy top up, load it on your phone and you are good to go. You dial * then your pin number and then # at the end. Well I went there for three weeks. I bought credit scratched the card typed in what I need to load the credit and find out that the N900 can't load the credit. So what do I have to do for those three weeks: I have to switch off my phone and take out my battery, then remove my sim card. I then have to ask someone else to do the same on their phone. I then put my sim card into their phone, replace the battery and then switch on the phone. Then I top up. Then I switch off the phone, take out the battery, take out the sim card and hand over the phone to the kind fellow that let me use his phone. I then put my sim card back in my N900, replace my sim and put on the phone. Thanks Nokia.
