I bought a Ford Ranger Pickup (2-wheel drive) when I was moving house. It was great for putting stuff in and taking to the dump, it had a small cab in the back for two passengers, but not good for long journeys. Great for moving the plants to the new house, and getting stuff from DIY stores and garden centres. All the things I wanted when I bought it. Then I realised that because there was no 4WD, I couldn't navigate wet fields very well. I found the small seats at the back of the cab meant I could only carry two people on long journeys. And, if it wasn't full of c**p, it bounced around a bit. And it was no good for sleeping in when I went camping. The final straw was when I discovered a 12 foot kayak wouldn't fit in the back. So, a year after I bought it I took it to the dealer I bought it from, and said I wasn't happy because I found it didn't do things I wanted it to - and a friend down the road has a VW bus with rock&roll bed that has a roof-rack for kayaks. He pointed out I never explained I wanted these things when I bought, that I wanted it to help move house and transport cr**p to the dump, etc. I said, yeah, but there's this other stuff my friend's VW bus can do and I want to do them as well. I want my money back. He said I could keep the Ranger, or he'd be happy to offer me a second-hand trade in on the Ranger in part-ex on a VW bus, or he could tell me to get lost - the choice was mine.

So far, I've not found anything my n900 doesn't do that I wanted it to - OK, iPlayer would be nice, as would better maps and a GPS that doesn't locate me 500 yards down the road from own my house. But for me, making/receiving Skype calls, browsing, sending e-mails, having a calendar, and being able to send SMS and make calls, WiFi and mobile broadband, TV & PC connectivity, and so on, in a single device with plenty of memory - seems good to me. I'm sure I'll figure out other stuff I'd like to do on it - like use as a SatNav - but I have searched for another device like it, and there's nothing.

Is all this complaining coming from genuine users, or is it some kind of tactic by competitors to undermine Nokia's credibility?
