also, any criticism about N900 is not taken positively...most of the N900 fanboys start assuming that person posting the comment is an Apple user...which I am not...I dont own apple products...but this just goes to show the insecurity of N900

I feel stuck with this phone...I cant make video calls n much more that i though i would be able to do with it...

also, everything about this phone is "in the works" or "you have to install xxx and do yyy and do zzz" to do a basic task...

a $400 phone with no development support..i would never fall for this nokia hype again.
I'm from Singapore and over here, none of the mobile telcos offer N900 with their contract (as of this writing). The only way to get N900 is via the local Nokia retail shop or purchase an export set from US, UK etc.. I believe the reason for that is because the phone usage is not as straightforward as the iPhoney. Take a walk downtown in Singapore and you'll see 1 in 3 people carrying an iPhone. Why ? Cos its "trendy".

But I prefer function over form.

My point is that I figure the N900 was catered for those who'd like to experiment, to explore. And It helps to have linux background to fully savour the experience.

Well, in my opinion, N900 is a milestone rather than hype. Its just a matter of targetting the right audience.
