hey i am not a fanboy far from it - I think Nokia should reap the consequences of its actions and get punished in the marketplace severey - which will happen when ppl do not buy their phones.

regardless of WHOs fault it was, from the opening post it was clear (and correct if I am wrong) that the poster expected a phone that "just works"

n900 is NOT a phone that "just works" - regardless of which side of the n900 fence you are on.

even if a community volunteer fixes these bugs promptly, this is just a bandaid - the next bug comes along that doesnt get fixed promptly will just bring the opening poster back asking "dude where is my fix!"

the clear solution here is to align user expectation with the right product, and so the solution here is for the user to sell the n900 and get another phone that meets their needs. This is the ONLY solution that will solve the underlying problem, regardless of whether it is the user's fault for not doing homework or Nokia for misleading marketing.

again i repeat, the fundamental problem is that the poster has expectations that the product cannot provide, so the ONLY solution here is to sell your n900 and get a product that DOES fufil his requirements.
