If you think a product is too expensive, you don't buy it. Simple as that. Arguing that Nokia is responsible for your purchase (which is implied by calling it "overpriced") is, to me, absurd.

I got a good deal paying only 30% for a factory new unit (which at 100% was even more expensive than if I had bought it in a store) and that made it easy for me to make up my mind. Had I had to pay the full price, I wouldn't have had an N900 today. Easy as that.

I have no idea. I didn't spend my time looking at the glossy advertising material, I spent it looking at what would be shipped in the device in terms of hardware and design choices.

It's a good size for a tablet that would fit in my pocket. There are mini versions of at least one smart phone being sold with extremely small screens. There is a market for that too...

It fits in my pocket and I get a QWERTY keyboard. I can replace the battery and insert a MicroSD card. I'm satisfied.

Are there no Flash upgrades? If you're talking about Flash 10, that's something else.
