I'm kind of sick of this rationale again and again.

Fact: N900 is an internet tablet with phone functionality scotch-taped in the last moment. You cannot deny it.

As for the "it's sold as a phone" argument:
If somebody painted a horse in black-white stripes, marketed it as a zebra, and sold to your zoo as a zebra. Then someone comes to you and says, "yo know, this is really a horse painted black and white", you're saying "I bought it az a ZEBRA and want it to behave like one", just kind of doesn't make any sense.

I truly sympathize with you being tricked by Nokia into thinking N900 is as good mobile phone as other mobile phones. Marketing did a hell of a job here advertising it as a phone. Many people bought this. But... it's really a horse and the paint does not stay long...
