Or one that if I like something on my desktop; I can simply re-compile it in an SDK and put it on the phone. No coding knowledge even necessary there.

The fact that I can't set a different ringtone per contact? Lacking portrait mode? Waayyyyyy in the back of the list of a **** I need/want out of a "phone".

(this is why it is very accurate to call this a mobile computer; and not a "phone"; as the latter implies certain things this lacks - and this lacks it because a computer does not need it/them.)
And what do you use to make phone calls? Or maybe because you spend all your time "programing" you maybe have only one friend and therefore different ringtones don't matter eh?

This device was supposed to be THE BEST device out there. Show me any other device without options for the end user like this one.

Why don't you code a twitter app straight on the N900 and make it available for everyone? Why don't you code a decent "rotate-me" so people would stop complaining? It's been 7 months since the launch!!

Can anyone explain me WHY is that so difficult? The excuse of "this is a computer with phone capabilities" is not an excuse anymore! I can use my 22 inch widescreen monitor in PORTRAIT mode using Vista or XP, how hard is for Maemo to do that?

I wish someome could come here and explain WHY, becase evryday we see more and more people giving up with this marvellous piece of hardware, just because the SO is not up to the task.

My Android arrives tomorrow. I was forced to change. My N900 will stay with me for couple of months waiting for the silent Nokia to do something about what the MAJORITY of users WANT, and not a handfull of geek guys making the absolut nonsense use for the unit.
