you'll probably get a lot of flames for this message.. but I for one agree with you. I've been on the n900 since release and for a device with so much potential it's fallen flat.

Nokia messaging still stinks. I miss so many emails.. unless I sit there and go through each account. The notifications system needs a rework. A common inbox would be nice.

I should have learned my lesson with the N85.. as of the end of 09 the latest firmware left many bugs unresolved. But I thought the n900 would change everything being maemo.

One thing I will disagree with in your post is the capacitive screen. Unless a functional stylus will be provided capacitive stinks in a full blown browser on a phone. I need precision. Nokia will go capacitive in the future so that's kind of a moot point either way.

My perfect phone: Blackberry message handling, Maemo's openess and browser, the N8's multimedia abilities, and let's get the games and apps from android and iOS in there. Sick of having to pick a phone that excels in one thing but fails in all others..

And the fan boys... yeesh. Hope your new phone meets your expectations!
