1) It never seems to crash for me - I really miss the "blue screen of death" even a kernel panic would be nice now and again.
2) The firmware only fits into 256mb space - When I install a desktop version of linux on my PC it takes about 2.1gb of space. I want value for money (I know Linux is free but that's not the point)
3) There is only one desktop environment installed on my n900 - I want bloated KDE & Gnome desktops eating-up memory, disk space and pointless "compiz" effects.
4) The n900 fits in my pocket - I take a certain pride in squeezing my 15'' laptop into my back pocket. My collection of colour-coordinated extra-large pantaloons are all but useless.
5) Why are so many web-sites rendered so well on my n900? - Other mobile devices don't do that (e.g. iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile)?
6) Why does the battery last so long? - After my laptop has been idling for an hour or so it warns me the battery is low.
7) I find the hardware keyboard annoyingly accurate. - I can no longer blame my bad spelling on my "virtual" on-screen keyboard.
8) I am disappointed how useful the apps are for the n900 - It's a pedometer, comic book reader, pdf viewer, view my desktop remotely, even a full install of debian. Where are all the wonderful "iFart" apps that are present on the iPhone?
9) I can make phone calls on this too? I'm a software developer I speak to computers not people.
10) It has a built-in FM transmitter - instead of listening to radio stations playing adverts (with the annoying bits of music in-between) I can play my music collection through my car stereo.
11) Why is this device so useful? - It wakes me up in the morning, use my PC remotely, write software, play music, watch tv shows, keeps me fit. I want to be the person that buys the new shiney thing, uses it for 5 minutes then complain about the smallest & insignificant shortcomings of the device because I cannot think of something useful to do with it.
12) The n900 is multitasking - I'm a man! I can't mutiltask. Having my n900 doing more than one thing is wierd I can't do that. I can barely single-task..I have the attention span of a goldfish....and another thi.....squirrel....
