To me Nokia should feel ashamed.

Then again their quality assurance people wouldn't release it in such a state.

You don't ship a car with buttons that do nowt, you connect them up, you do stuff. You don't have seatbelts with no seat, or airbags that don't work. You connect all hardware to something that has a use or purpose and make sure each component works. You don't fit a seat hoping later on a well meaning owner will get round to fitting the seat belt.

Maybe you do in Finland, maybe half assed jobs are the norm???

I think we should be able to get a refund.

And sorry this is Maemo 5, were Maemo 4 as bad? If win2000 came out not being able to run the printer it as shipped with, or the monitor that came in the box with it, you would complain. You wouldn't hang around and wait for windows to supply the drivers, while yhou look at a blank screen because some community hasn't created your monitor drivers yet. If it is in the box it should work. (And the video camera was in the box)

Don't blame the OS for not being mature enough. It is purely Nokia and the QA people for allowing it through.
I'm sorry, but I find your rant completely baseless. The N900 works out of the box. That you can do so much more with it because it is not locked and jailed down is a bonus that you can happily ignor.
