i really have to wonder why people keep mentioning the n8..the n8 has two advantages: 1) the camera and the apps. and thats about it. everything else is a step back from what the n900 has to offer. even the UI is really limited in terms of how you can customize it.

before buying the n900 i was really worried du to many comments posted on this site. many people here have an agenda and will mislead you. from my experience i can say that buying the n900 was the best decision i made and i dont regret it a second.

having said that you should read through possible reasons that might be an issue for you like the email client, nokias horrible info policy/ovi store etc.

turn by turn is solved by using the sygic app (needs to be bought though)
