It's beyond that. Blaming someone now for not doing their research is lame.

However... This forum was a working forum. It was also a social gathering place for working members. And a learning place for all.

Lately all that can be learned here is that some people have made the wrong choice in purchasing the N900 but some of those same people have hung out in here attempting to make it our freakin' problem.

Guess what? It ain't... get a life why don't ya. This ain't the freakin' lonely hearts club.

Start your own dang Nokia sucks forum and leave this one alone please.

I just attempted to engage some in relevant discussion only to be stepped on by yet another: "No I'm not", "Yes you are", "No I'm not. You are.", "Nah uh, You are."... chicken shyt exchange between what could have been 8 year olds.

Dang it. Anus weasels is what anus weasels does...

Please, can we all just give it a break and ignore this crap or at least attempt to steer the discussion toward something that requires a little more thought.

Nokia may have proven once again how one hand sometimes doesn't know what the other hand is doing. But it's a big company with many different R & D budgets. Hell, prior to the N900 Maemo was run by what seemed to be only 3 or 4 open source enthusiasts from within the corporation. A couple of years before that the server or everything Maemo within Nokia was kept in a freakin' closet running on an old desktop machine as I recall from some of the pictures that were posted here. Meanwhile the Symbian side of the house seemed to have Vice Presidents in charge of specialized details as fine as "look and feel" because there were so many of them.

I almost bought that dang booklet instead of the N900 based on the implication that because it was being released about the same time as MeeGo was announced, that it would eventually run MeeGo.

But that would have been my own doing. I was adding 1 + 1 and coming up with 3. No one here suggested it and nowhere was it mentioned by Nokia that this was its purpose.

But a whole lot of blogs sure implied that it was. Fortunately at the time many of these bloggers were also posting here. Since they were posting in only the general threads and not any of the working threads and because most liked to see their own words in print. An awful lot of BS was generated. I can only imagine how their actual blogs read. Their posts here though soon showed that they were mostly talking out their collective bung holes. It seemed to me like some were running scared from their Symbian blog backgrounds and were looking for a new audience. I believe some may have even been trying to steer their existing audience toward where they thought they should go in the future. And that of course would be reading their blogs.

When I did ask for advice here, I asked working members in working threads. I was only given general guidance to first examine what my needs were right now and to make my decision based on only that and to not try to guesstimate my future needs or the possible future capabilities of a device. It was good advice.

Now if for whatever reason you find that you bought the wrong device for your needs, man up and sell the dang thing. Why would anyone in their right mind continue to berate members or only post negatives in an enthusiasts forum where you would have the best chance of selling it at a decent price?

To warn other potential buyers? Please give me a break, will ya? On an enthusiasts forum that still has active members using 770's? Really?

The other reason I heard was to motivate developers to do better This ain't caddy shack bubba. A former assistant grounds keeper with the right motivation isn't going to come from behind to win the Masters tournament or suttin'
Yeeeesh!

Most new developers enter from the top down. What they see motivates them to drill deeper and to discover more things. It's getting harder and harder for someone new to see anything through all the chicken shyt being tossed around here lately.
