@ spartan445 (If you ever come back here).

I completely understand where you are coming from with your comments and I do agree with most of them... with a "but".

The N900 is a geeky phone meant for a geeky market. A lot of people (myself included) did a lot of research before finally shelling out (geek pun) the money for their N900. They will have found out that it doesn't have MMS, and that the front camera doesn't do anything. But they will have weighed this up with the abilities of: having AIM, yahoo, facebook, skype contacts all in one phonebook, being able to store every episode of Lost on their phone, and watch it on the train; Running Xterm, and portscanning your neighbours' wifi; playing Quake 3; and streaming porn straight off the net.......

All this possible, and with such an awesome community making new applications, workarounds, and if Nokia do support even just a bit... I'd say it's a good trade-off for not being able to send a picture message.

The phone isn't for you, fair enough. I wouldn't suggest my girlfriend, nor my dad get an N900, since they want a phone, not a computer.

I whole-heartedly agree with you that it is a phone... Of course it is, and your reasons are spot on... I bought it because I wanted a new phone, not because my laptop was just "too fast".

I think maybe it should be called an Internet-Tablet Phone, or NetPhone, or Computer Phone, or something! (ok, Netphone sounds terrible!)
