The media player just brings my N900 to its knees. It is incredibly slow, sometimes takes almost a minute to start playing a song and then stutters and skips for the next 5 minutes. And that's when it doesn't just crash. Plus everything else in the device becomes super sluggish. I just can't understand it.

Just did some testing on this:
1. Set the Phone app to Portrait.
2. Play a movie with built in Media Player.

Rang the N900 and found it takes a good 2 to 3 rings onthe phone I'm making the call from, before the N900 even starts ringing or the Phone app even appears, whether it was running in the background or not, due to having rotate to Portrait.

3. If the Camera app is running, its even worse, it sometimes did not manage to bring up the Phone app at all, and resulted in a missed call.

Workaround:
Set the phone app to Landscape, its much faster, almost instant, even while a video is playing.
The downside is that making calls single handed is cumbersome.
