I think because all the alternatives that Nokia had were so poor at the time for the best Nokia device. Many people bought one and now realising its not for them.

Nokia maketing was pretty slick and I guess some feel very betrayed by a company they have grown up with. This is the biggest and best site to discuss all things N900 so automatically becomes the place where people will vent their spleen or sing its praises.

As people say some of the posts are not constructive. But surely nokia and the Community need to have a chance to hear peoples views good and bad. So maybe a rant and rave section needs to be made avaiable where people can post such threads?
