I brought the N900 knowing all of its shortcomings. I knew the Ovi store didn’t exit, I knew there were like 100 apps at the time and I knew I could have brought a laptop for the price if I wanted to…

I also knew that even if it had a 1ghz processor, it would lag occasionally and as it was a “pc”, after a few days, memory leaks would slow the thing down and I would need to “reboot”

But what I wanted was a phone which I could develop apps to make my life much easier.

It’s a shame the transition from VB/Windows programming to Qt has not been smooth (something Nokia have improved on with the latest release of Qt).

I would like to try out the android platform and from videos I have seen, the N900 runs the platform much better maemo… (I.e. it “feels” quicker)

If your not sure what phone to buy yet, hold off and buy a £10 phone until you are.

As for these threads, on this forum, I think it’s a bit pointless as I doubt Nokia pay much attention as it’s a community forum (and a very good community at that!).

I have a few issues with the N900 from a programming/development perspective and I intend to voice that directly to Nokia, not this community as it’s their fault not this community’s.

Oh, and I am not a big fan of Google anymore as I do think they seem to take over the world. Wouldn’t be surprised if all the Google phones sent statistics to Google on what you do with the phone, who you text etc…
