I think that most of the flamers here are actually only the ones that defend the n900.
It's an awesome device, the best, seriously, but nokia hasn't done enough research. Someone was ******ed enough to think that n900 is to cool to have more than 2 profiles, usable front video camera, ussd, mms, assigning ringtones to contacts and the rest of the basic stuff which my old S40 can do.
The sad part is that they admit some of the flows, but decide that we aren't that important to actually repair it (the one that amazes me the most is the Wlan connection), but they are many.
Hopefully they'll come around, but it might be a little to late and loose some of their fidelity.
The quality of their build is very low, I never thought this would be possible, but their QA sucks. And here I include, USB port, keyboard frame, lcds etc. This is not something people expect from a high end user.

Any marketing/reliability department knows that a happy customer tells other 4-8 people and an unhappy one tells at least 20. (and since the the flamer Ossipena might come and say "references" go and read about six sigma or SPM 112 - Handbook in design of reliable equipment ed. 1993).

On the webpage of NOKIA N900 it says IT'S A PHONE so I expect to use it as a phone.
From tomorrow I'll have two weeks to decide if I keep the device or not, and if ti satisfies my needs.

He just complained, it's his right.
I think most of you just put up front "IT'S A TABLE PC" so you could justify to yourself the missing functions.
If you keep it like this you'll end up like an Apple fanboy, buying an Iphone each year at a huge price just because it's trendy, and it has lots of apps, but ignoring the fact that you bought a device which is year behind an S60 when it comes to basic stuff.
Do most of you remember when the first iphone appeared how much fun we made of them because they didn't had the basic stuff like MMS, sending stuff via bluetooth or videocamera.
Think about it, we are almost stepping on their foot print. and by this I mean we're just accepting something which could do a lot more, and we're getting to a compromise where we loose some important things. It still is amazing, but it could be some much more if nokia would give us the basic stuff back.
Sorry for the comparison with the Iphone, it's the first thing it connected to this, it's not that good since most of us have a little Self-esteem not to give their hard earned money to Steve Jobs for an Ap, and then make him rich by watching his commercials.
