I think the poster is sort of impatient and donot know anthing of owning a phone. especially n900. This smartphone is not lost to any others phones..it is just old in design and it is its weak to others. Android..iphone..have many ..say millions apps ..however. how many apps you use as a usefull aaps for you when you own one of the two. i have many friend using iphone ..they actually installed only a few apps and some game. i owned a motorola droid and sold it at 180. yes, it has many apps but i just install a few. and many others are just stupid.
Nokia N900, yes cannot campare to these two about amount of apps, but all apps are made to feel people needs. it does have some crazy app..but i dont care..i dont use it anyway.

phones are only valuable and useful for someone as they know how to use to fulfill their needs. i used iphone, android ..but still loved Nokia 900..cause's it is the right phone for me.

some people feel frustrated with the phone because they trying to do something on the phone like hacking, install some unfully developed under tests. and when they failed ...stucked in the problems with the phone and hey ..lets say i cannot continue going with it anymore. ..then yell out load that N900 is suck and loser.
