Interesting point, I know no one even remotely interested in getting one, I have never met another person with one and I work as a business manager in the NHS, so travel between PCT's and work a lot in various GP surgeries. Being in IT I know loads of sad techie geeks as colleagues, again none have even remotely looked at the N900. (Partly me getting it and putting them off.) I see it as a dead format by this time next year. Someone said Nokia shouldn't be putting out apps, because google and apple don't. But they have support of developers, Nokia isn't getting support when they can't even get ovi suite to support the phone, and PC suite doesn't fully. That IS Nokia's fault and so no one will develop when Nokia won't. The only way to fight back with the overwhelming 'love in' that Apple and Android see, is subsidise it, pay companies to do it. Until then the Ovi suite is dead, the N900 is hamstrung and Nokia will just continue spiralling the drain. Too many people wait for the 1.2 release, but it isn't coming with an app to navigate in a car, it isn't coming with an app to tell me gas meter reading, or pay a bill, or find the nearest take away. That is what sells, that is what people want. (and thereby getting support from developers) 1.2 isn't an app store NOR is it basic features that should have been in out the box. It is fixing SOME bugs. Some of those bugs are not even real world issues for most of the people that bought the phone. I bet the mystical 1.2 release doesn't fix the bug that has made my battery suddenly go from two days life to less than eight hours of no use at all. I would log a bug, raise a forum post but what is the point, the phone is crap and I know it. Sad that I now have to accept that fact don't you think?
