I really am glad that I have a N900. But then I have almost 20 years Linux experience and I was able to fit the N900 to my tastes.

The problem with the N900 is that out of the box it is a load of crap. Email client, Calendar, syncing, contacts and todo's are horrible. If Nokia had taken the trouble to ship decent applications with the N900, things may well have been different. And they have themselves to blame, because there are many excellent Open Source solutions for all those services, that they could have adapted without too much difficulties.

My experience with large corporations like Nokia is, that bad decisions generally do not 'just happen'. Someone, somewhere earns a lot of money.
