You are in the minority here. The N900 is the most stable phone I have ever owned.

And isn't Orange a carrier notorious for screwing with the firmware? No wonder they're withdrawing the N97 if their users are still stuck on an old version.

But yes, the original N97 made a serious dent in Nokia's reputation. If it had launched less buggy and with just a bit more RAM it would've been a major success. The RAM still puzzles me, because buggy software is a harder issue to change, and the cost savings from being able to run Symbian on older ARM processors should already have been major.
