As a new user myself, I can say that "do your homework first" is a valid point. I spent about a month reading this forum before I made my decision to buy an n900 and I couldn't be happier. I have yet to come across something I really wanted that the community doesn't have a solution for. That said, if you are not willing to get your hands dirty and learn some new things about computers this is not the device for you.

Btw, I think the Droid Incredible was the next best thing I handled in my research and even that felt like a toy compared to the n900
