So in other words the N900 was meant to be more of a community driven device... But people are dumb enough to ignore all this and start complaining here on (maemo.org); WHICH IS A COMMUNITY SITE and not an official Nokia support forum...
Hey, I'm kindof annoyed with Nokia for misleading me about what the N900 could do. For me, the battery life is terrible, and batterygraph doesn't help me much at all. I just see that Network is busy all the time. There is an Evernote App adverstised on the Nokia site for the N900 that doesn't exist.

I'm glad that somewhere like talk.maemo.org exists, so that I can learn something, but ultimately I place blame at a disconnect between the Nokia phone building people and the Nokia marketing people.

The N900 is probably a great little computer, but for me it's a frustrating experience because I am being forced to solve problems and learn linux when want to do reasonably straightforward things.

My experience does not match this video:

At the same time, my sincere thanks to the community of people here that are working hard to develop things for the platform, I will help in the limited way that I can.

For now, I hope that someone from Nokia HQ is reading this thread and gets a sense of the urgent need to update the software on the phone.
