At someone elses urging, I'm trying something new, and hopefully more "productive".

I've created a sister thread to this one, where rather than try to explain here for the 20th times how to compensate for a "missing feature" or an "issue" someone has about the device, one can explain work around and/or solutions others may have missed. I do ask that you read the top post there, and feel free to contribute to the thread, preferably with links to the solutions as I've started to do.

This isn't to discredit the problems people are posting here, but rather to show fixes, alternatives, or possible work-arounds that some may have missed. For example, the "doesn't do MMS" issue can be readily resolved by using fMMS (which is listed on the sister page).

Hopefully the new thread will let more people enjoy their existing N900, while the two together can provide a more balance view of the N900. This lets others looking at the device decide if optional solutions may be "good enough" stand-ins for key features that they need or want.

One constructive bit, this thread has served (and will continue to) as a good source of topics which we can use to help create a constructive list of fixes or work-arounds from. Feel free to take things people here are bitc.. noting and post working solutions on the sister page. (Then maybe note that you did that here, with a link to your post, like I've done?)
