i'm having none of the problems you mentioned, and i certainly don't agree with your cons, i only ever reply to threads like this because i hope that people can see the bigger picture and realize what a fantastic peice of equipment the N900 actually is, IF it has what you require from a smart phone and you like the aesthetics of the device, and for god sake, try before you buy, you wouldn't spend 20 grand on a car just by looking at it on websites.

no i'm not a nokia fanboy and yes i love my N900. but simple common sense says to me, if i buy something and it doesn't work as i feel it should, seek help and find out what you are doing wrong, or send it back and ask for another one, or send it back and get your money back and do some research and try and find a device that does have what you require. for instance, it's no use listing a resistive touchscreen as a complaint when a little research will clearly tell you that the N900 has a reistive screen, so why buy it if it's not what you want???. i know it's not a perfect device, i wanted mms the other day, but i am prepared to live what little flaws it has for the welfare of benifits that it gives me, because the phone suits me, and that's what it's all about, you're personal preference.
