yeah n900 sucks.
*goes to use n900 to play angry birds and zen bound*
I'm not begging you to stay in this relationship but let me tell you that you've missed a number of important aspects that people usually overlook on this device.
I almost gave up on it too. I canceled my unlimited 3G data and call and text from my provider because I didn't find the N900 useful since last month.
a week ago though, I didn't care much about my n900 to try to overclock it. (yes, many dangers. i didnt care so i tried it)
it doubled the speed and responsiveness of the phone and web browser. touchscreen swipes, transitions, app loading, scrolling, and overall speed DOUBLED maybe even TRIPLED.
Emulators run some/many games 100% now as well, especially GBA and SNES games. Never tried PSX games yet though.
Battery life hasn't decreased but Im sure the CPU wont last for a year or 2. (i dont care because by then i would have bought a new phone)
Overclocking is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing but seeing that the n900 has unlockable sections within it, makes it really a computer with a phone. I'm liking it again.
Its not recommended to overclock your n900 but instead of waiting for updates that make the OS 1.004x faster (which is nothing), I overclocked it. Now its frequency is the same as the Snapdragon. lol
Yes it has a very small selection of apps and games but many of those are very useful. Zen bound, DrNokSnes, ConnectNow, HoopsFrenzy, Angry Birds, MyPaint, PenPen, readers, and many more!
