Thanks for this thread because I love my n900 and i did a thorough search reading the talk forum, watching every single youtube video about it, and reading all the reviews/comparison before I purchased the device. I had a 5800 prior to the n900 and that phone was great had no problems with it and yet my n900 has exceeded it in almost all areas. I think if people did a bit more research before blindly purchasing this phone or any other phone their expectations will not be as high, they will know what they are getting and therefore less fud and complaining. Yes the phone has its shortcomings but that is what this community is for to improve and develop more features for this great phone.
