There is NO reason to have yet another thread rehashing the same things over and over. The only unique thing about your case is you've decided to do your homework after purchase.

I can sum this discussion up for you easily
X people hate their n900s because they bought the wrong device for their needs

n of those X people simply should not have bought the n900 because it performed exactly as described, but it didn't do what they needed, or it did it exactly as described but not in the way they liked.

z of those X people need a feature that might come in 1.2 (be it enhancement or bugfix.)

w of those X people have had rare but not inconsequential hardware issues (mostly from early production run problems)

z of those X people are trolls. This number is small, but not 0

A-X is the number of people having no insurmountable issues, who are happy with the n900, and got exactly what they wanted.

Some of those people are here, and we're trying to help. For free. On our own time. Because this isn't Nokia.

So A is the total number of people, A-X are the happy people and X are the unhappy people. Generally, people don't search the internet to post "Yes, it is what I thought it was when I bought it." over and over in a user forum. So you mostly see X posters, not A-X. Even though the n900 has sold very well and is for the most part EXACTLY what it says it is.

So go read that stickied topic, and please let's not rehash the same crap over yet again. Yes, I am talking to you X people.
