That's a bit unfair. It's like accusing the "Adobe" in "Adobe Photoshop" of being unclear and mysterious.


Anyways, back to the OP... it's been well established that the N900 is by and large a phone/tablet/PDA/etc. for folks who want to do their own polishing. It's like buying unfinished furniture - if you don't know how to do finishes it's extremely inconvenient, but if you do then you've got a lot more options w/r/t how the furniture looks and thus how it'll fit into your house and et cetera.

So, the implied question - should this guy's GF get a N900? That depends on whether or not she's willing to take those extra steps... or if he's willing to do them for her.
