I totally agree it cant be everything to everyone and a hapy balance should be found. I love the versatility and the amassing things this community has helped me do with my n900, and the n900 does lots better than other portable devises.

But my n900 is missing features the most basic phone made by Nokia has (like syncing task descriptions with you PC) the PIM function is so inadequate for reasons pointed out at the top of this thread, that i am considering using an old phone and just retiring my n900 to a web pad.

That said if the 2 bugs in my signature were resolved I'd keep using my n900.
