That's something to be said. I had to return headphones to motorola under warranty which took a month to actually get a claim in and I was just short of having the warranty end (and they said they would not accept it if it ended WHILE I was getting the warranty claim!).
Then they sent me back a wrong pair. And wanted me to pay shipping there and back. I had this nice set of HT820's and they gave me the MOTOROKR... HD things. Great sound but the worst EVER bluetooth chip in it.
I hate how Maemo is advertised as open source when all it really is the kernel and a few other things that are open. I don't have an N900 but N8x0's life died quickly when Nokia dropped it.

No decent map programs since Wayfinder died
No Open GPSD so MiniGPSD kind of sucks (doesn't even work with Navit)
Camera is 100% useless and crashes the device 98% of the time (could they at least have sourced that?)
Skype... sucks. It stutters so bad that anyone I call doesn't understand a word I say.
Having to install rtcomm beta to get any decent IM options... sucks.
that's just to name a few. I'm pretty disappointed, I really loved Nokia but now I actually am thinking of the Droid X... so much better.


The community for this is superb, however. Opera Mobile, Diablo5 and telescope are awesome.

If they sourced the stuff the community would have just improved it.
I won't be buying Nokia again. Their phones are in a market in which nobody wants to be anymore so support is going to go down the drain.
