This is fine. If it's not apparent from the feature list, or manual, or user guide, great - put it here. If you're just pointing out something that is (or is not) in the feature list, then I think you're missing your goal of "issues for potential buyers"

The thing I see *most* often with people who are violently unhappy with their n900 purchase is the "I assumed it had feature/function X" where there was no reasonably expectation you would actually assume that at all, if you had spent 10 minutes browsing the product page.

I agree there are some things that you'd have had to download the manual or spend 10 minutes googling to verify that said feature was NOT in the currently shipping hardware/software.

There are then a smaller list of things that you'd have to hunt around for 30 minutes here to find out are problems with the shipping hardware/software that should not be there, and impact the functioning of the device, and are actual issues you might not expect as a potential buyer.

Maybe it's just me, but of those three categories above, only the last one falls into the category of "stuff I could have possibly missed before purchase" - since you're posting this list to maemo.org, however, the only way someone would find it before purchase is to come here - and if they are here, then they already can see the other thousand posts a week outlining these same issues...

I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm purchasing any high end device I spend quite a bit of time digging around to see what it can do, and to make sure it has every feature I need before I purchase it. That's why I'm always surprised by people posting to maemo.org (the place where they would have found EVERYTHING good and bad about the n900) about how they didn't know it could not do some function. I mean, they're here... so they sure should have been able to find that out ahead of time, right?

Anyway, I appreciate your willingness to continue the effort!
