Thanks for a robust defence of your original post, Fraappacino.

Your (expanded) points are valid, but probably not what someone needs to hear when they've just invested in what they believed was a top of the range' product..!

Had you been so eloquent in your first post I would not have scalded myself with hot coffee scrambling to defend what appeared to be a dismissive attack!

You are of course right that N900 does not 'just work' out-of-the-box and have correctly identified the problem Nokia have created by encouraging the 'wrong' people to buy the device.

My point was that we have to be careful how we respond as a community to help control Troll breeding.

I still maintain your original comment was not helpful. but I am heartened to see that you are clearly no fanboy.

I am sure we all are aware how values of used N900's have dropped to below the price of, say a new E72 (a phone that does 'work' on many levels) so selling is just not an option for many.

This community is the last and only recourse for disatisfied owners. If we dismiss them we'll turn them into Trolls who will block the flow of useful info and help (see Helmuth's excellent post above - Man that guy knows his bugs!)

Nokia are evidently aware of this problem - I received a text questionaire yesterday from Nokia asking if I'd recommend N900 to a friend, so maybe, just maybe the tide is turning...
