On a poll of multitasking I had to vote that I use quite a few windows. But there wasn't a choice that said I had to because of appalling design in the OS. Maemo makes you open a page for every web page, it opens up a page for each conversation so I have 5 open using 2 apps.

Neither a valid use of multitasking because there is no juice left for me to run other apps, for example if I put music on as well the music skips because it can't hack web browsing, flash and music at the same time. Nor is it a measure of happiness in the N900 or the N900's ability to multitask. I could do more and with better results on my tytn2 under winmo 6.0.

The more accurate questions would be something along the lines of do you want tab browsing, do you want an inbox instead of conversations, or do you think 600 is seriously underpowered when 30% on average is chewed up indexing by the media player?

And a few forums threads are reporting that it can't hack too much music on the SD card. Perhaps that should be addressed?

You really think that? Or is it a case of everyone that is left likes it because lots have jumped ship and moved on. Way too many threads of people leaving in favour of other phones.
