I am no expert but if you ask me I find it disgraceful that you need apps on the N900 to do things Nokia phones have been doing out of the box for over ten years. Talk about moving backwards.
...BUT! You can also do things with it that most mobile device manufacturers haven't even dreamed of yet! I mean look at all the apps that the iPhone needs to do even the most basic of things we take for granted on most Nokia phones!

It's VERY important to remember this is a mobile computer first!! ...and "oh yeah, it can also make phone calls" comes in a very distant second!

It's a trade-off for sure, but personally I am happy with the device leaning towards the mobile computer side instead of the phone side! Even though I do wish it had custom contact ringtones, it's not a deal breaker for me like say, no microSD or no QWERTY!
