Experience with Nokia N900
I've had my Nokia N900 since it was available on Pre-Order. Yes I am Australian. I use my Nokia N900 almost whenever I can.

I have created this topic to correct many preconceptions and complaints which are not valid.

There is no 3G Video Calling
The Nokia N900 is not a phone designed for this. Infact it is a Mobile Computer with phone capabilities. The primary roles for the product are to allow us to access the internet and check emails. It is similar to a PDA. Think of it as a N810 upgrade rather than alone. If you would like a phone with a keyboard go for the Nokia N97 or N97 Mini or the many other phones out there.

There is no Virtual Keyboard in Portrait Mode
This product is not made for primarily portrait usage. It was designed with a keyboard so it should be used 2 handed. I believe it does not need a Virtual Keyboard in Portrait Mode as this is a not a necessity. It would not be that beneficial either, it is easier to type with 2 hands regardless. Yes it would be good if this feature was available however it isn't. If you would like a Portrait Virtual Keyboard please ask Opera for their code on their Portrait Keyboard on Opera Mobile and PORT it to an app for everyone else.

Adobe Flash 10.1, info will be added on later.

Pitfalls of Nokia N900 which are inexcusiable
- Ovi Maps having trouble picking a connection
- Email UI, integration and synchronization needs working on
- No built-in support for .doc and other common document files such as .xls, etc.

More to be added.
I am sorry to say this but in my opinion the OP is incorrect and should re-word everything.
