As much as I do like my N900, it isn't the device I had hoped. Irrespective that we were the early adopters, the support for the N900 is poor - apart from the talented developers on here. I bought the 'phone' based on having good internet connection and speeds, phone capabilities, email, media player and a rather hefty storage capacity. Apart from the apps people have developed on here and beyond, the apps from Nokia as pitiful and an embarrasment compared to other software platforms. When my N900 became bricked, and the couldn't flash the emmc, Nokia repaired it and said it was down to downloading third party applications. The only applications I downloaded were the ones in the finished respositry on here, as I never would use or try to use the red pill mode on it - out of fear on damaging the phone. But if you want any sort of application, you have to download them off here as the ones in OVI are poor. Don't get me started on the maps. That is just another embarrasment for Nokia.

The N900 has the capabilites of becoming a superb device, but Nokia need get their backsides in gear to support and put more development available for this device.
