Yeah totally feelng you... *sarcasm*

Nokia had nothing to do with FCam and its amazing versatility. Just met up with my old roommate, a working globetrotting photographer, and showed him the hdr and .dng options it had and all the manual control with the app, and blew him away. The last fw update brought functional vidchat via google and skype on 2.5g in the states and blew many friends away by it, and Nokia had zero to do with that also...*more sarcasm*

I am still using my N810 as a media box for my music library and streaming internet radio with my surround sound and I even web browse via Tear with it too many years later from purchase date. That is from the community efforts with great FREE programs easily obtained.

No, Nokia will not hold your hand and guide you to what the devices can do with a locked OS like Apple, or have a closed off limited kernel like Android, but with a lil know how and elbow grease it still blows most smartphones away. My friend just got the Galaxy S on my recommendation since he was coming from a G1, and yeah it is a nice phone, but when I showed him the pics from my phone, snes emulation, and IR controlled his tv, he was like **** I wish I knew how to do that.

I will say this now, the N900 is the first real "superphone", its true capabilities aren't that easily obtained by the avg user, but for anyone with a lil technical know how, wow is it a beast. Thankfully QT apps are now in the works and will be let loose Q4 into next year and Nokia can solve the percieved "app problem" for those who want to click and use, and gain crossplatform support with this toolkit taking MeeGo to that next level.

Bottom line you have to roll up your sleeves with this device, and if that doesn't add to your enjoyment of mobile computing devices, the N900 isn't for you.
