Of course you can, and I will answer publicly: of course I do I would have to be quite full of myself to march over to a forum about Maemo if I don't even own or use a Maemo device, eh? I use my N900 (and my N97 mini, just for work email though) religiously, and so do about all of the people I work with. And yes, I use mine every day.
Thanks for the response, I just fail to see how 'official', hired developers can make so many mistakes when it comes to the OS.

There are so many deal killers to an otherwise epic phone/tablet (semantics), eg the whole flash 10.1 debacle, that given the chance any user would gladly contribute a few hours 'fixing' given the knowledge/source/opportunity, though those in the position to do something about it are either, doing nothing or doing something but being very quiet about it.

If I was a NOKIA developer and I owned an N900 and I was in the position to fix these bugs I would, and what's more I would be vocal about it.
We have an entire community, devoted to supporting a handset, many developers that give up their time to develop free apps, so why are more NOKIA staff not here utilizing this great resource and wealth of knowledge.

If Titan can make our phones run at 1Ghz with no noticeable drawback, why can't NOKIA's developers?

If NOKIA can't make turn by turn nav work on Maemo, how is it possible that a 3rd party company such as Sygic is able to develop very good turn by turn voice guided nav on the very same OS?

I'm sorry but I fail to see how any NOKIA staff are successfully using their N900s without coming to this forum, and I am yet to see any NOKIA employees on here except from yourself.

So that either means that the NOKIA staff who are using an N900 either:
1. Have joined up here but have not made it public that they are NOKIA employees
2. Are on here as guests
3. Miraculously have no issues what so ever
4. Are happy with a broken email client, a buggy (at best) OS, memory leaks, etc etc etc
