For a phone I find this really annoying... apart from that its no better then an iPhone to be honest apart from I can use the PC shortcuts of CTRL C etc.

I love it but at the end of the day its a phone and it does a very bad job of being a phone with the shite battery life and shite phone features... as a device its nice but as an end product its terrible...

And if you come back with... its an internet tablet then why cant I simply open flickr and see my own photos and full screen them.... other devices can but on the n900... ohhh nooo thats not avaiable.... you need to create an app for seeing photos on a web site..
If you have problem with the phone rotating, just go to Turning control in the phone settings and disable auto-rotation. Mine is fixed in portrait mode. I don't see any reason for using the phone app in landscape.

I don't want to get into comparing the phone to iphone or any other device in this discussion, but I do believe several items in my list would be either impossible or really difficult to do using iPhone. But again - there are enough threads already comparing N900 and iPhone, and I don't want this to turn into one.

And I'm not really sure I understand your issue with flickr. I just clicked on the link of a flickr slideshow I created in MicroB, and I got a full-screen slideshow working (without any special app). Not sure what's not working for you.
