You have to be patient with this phone, plus do your research before doing anything on it.Ask around, search and you`ll find your answers to your problems.I`m not a power user either but I didn`t have a problem overclocking. installing droid and all the game emulators in the world....even webos games....so I don`t think the N900 sucks.Most of the time It`s the users` problem and not the phone.
