Before I bin it and go for an Android native system, is there any alternative where the unit still works as a phone, 3G, wifi, bluetooth, camera, music etc plus the missing things like mms? Is there any one of these systems that is near to this target? I e xpect it will blow and guarantee with Voda but otherwise it will blow my fuse.

Trouble is I was particularly stupid and got two n900s. But for some reason, even though she hankers after an iPhone, my better half is not as pissed off as I am....

Maybe Nokia should stick to hardware and make the software properly open source.
You're right the n900 is a "real computer" - it's not designed to be an iPhone where the UI is everything to Apple. I'm happy with UI on the n900 - unobtrusive and does not hog CPU .

I just wasted my time reading your post.

The n900 is one of the few phones where the screen is visible under sunlight - the n900 screen has a transreflective layer.

No MMS? Install FMMS and get full picture messaging!

Buying 2 n900s was pretty stupid. Most normal people would buy just one and see how it goes or even play with a demo model in-store.

Your other half probably thinks "What an a*sehole! He bought 2 n900s and does nothing but moan about it"

Go for an android system or iPhone - your pen*s envy is obvious.

(I get the impression your synaptic pathways are firing but not necessarily in the right order)
