Sure, but isn't it OUR responsibility to check which kind of sacrifice we're willing to make? Would you march into the next best ice cream parlour and order a banana split to then whine about how you wanted something with strawberry ice cream in it...?

(Or, to keep the metaphor more topic-specific: Would you wait for someone to thank the parlour owner for their wonderful banana split, to then chime in and call the customer stupid for liking that terrible banana split and not realising that there's no strawberry in it? )

Though, back to your replies, I'm still not sure what "quick tasks" and "casual" features you're missing. For me there's not much of a sacrifice to make while using my N900. It does all the things I ever did with my phones (make and receive calls, check mails, use the calculator because I cannot calculate worth **** , take notes and - lately - browse the web), and the only real problem I've ever had is that I tend to run out of battery when I'm online for too long.

Really, it's the perfect device for myself, and I just don't get how that makes me "blind", just because my priority is on other functionalities than MMS (or whatever else it is that makes this device "lacking").
