I get that... I truly do. But when they come in ranting, having already sold their phone, no matter what they're told, it's not going to get them back one bit. They've already sold... It's done. Why are we allowing them to vent here? It's not helping us, since most people like them doing "research" don't even get past the title of the thread.

And we do have a few trolls on here, many of which don't even own the device, saying things about it that are just false (like "most people own a second phone" because it's unreliable as a phone). What do you do? Smile, and say "sorry you think that?" No... That doesn't work. Even if you offer a solution to their problem, most will continue to insist it doesn't work "out of the box", and continue to post the same misinformation. How do you propose we handle that?

There was one person recently who commented in 8 different threads (some that were dead for months) about how crappy the media player was. He didn't even own the device, and kept arguing how he's seen it on youtube and it was crap. Should we just let people post lies about the device? Are they entitled to express their opinion here, based on nothing?

If so, maybe it's time I leave, since that's not what I though this forum was for. I though it was for N900 owners helping each other. Expressing ideas for how to improve the device and the experience. If it's going to just be a place for random people to come and spout lies about the device unchallenged, I don't think I want to be a part of it.

You want to trade a bag full of ignorant people griping about a device they don't own for actual developers who don't want to put up with the crap? You're right, it will go away... quickly.
