Promise of freedom with linux but the average user can't do more than on any other OS and is actually restricted by the limited number of developpers and clouded by its fanbase
GUI not fluid, stutters most of the time - EVEN WHEN NO APPS ARE RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND
Plastic cover is cheap and seems that the clips are on the brink of breaking everytime I pull it out it to replace the SIM card that is not detected.
SIM card holder is the worst I've seen yet, what a shame Nokia
No true auto-focus when taking pictures unless button manually pressed half way beforehand
Community members mock the average user
Very slow updates from Nokia with none of the needed major changes are brought to the OS that has been ditched.
Update failures in many phones, can turn it into a brick
Windows X64 not supported for manual flashing
Wrong time on received SMS
No official MMS app
GPS software is outdated and is pretty much useless without voice navigation
GPS takes forever to sync with a satelitte unless it uses an internet connection. No such problem with the N95.
Very small choice of applications in both the ovi store and the application manager
Stylus fell off and got lost after 2 weeks
Earpiece volume is very low and the fix is to physically make the hole bigger
Music player is too primitive with no equalizer or good alternative players around, yes i've tried them all.
Setting up Gmail on it is a hassle and is probably not possible
Cheap resistive screen gets scratched very easily unless you buy a screen protector
OVI store still not public and probably never will be
MeeGo ditched, N900 left without a future
Poor wifi performance considering it's "g"
Problems with file transfers over bluetooth
Phone gets very slow after installing more than ~15 applications ( about the whole app store)
Application manager extremely slow in seaching, updating and installing
Can't hard reset unless you accept the major risk of bricking your phone if done wrong, and phone can brick even if done right.
Phone rarely resets when plugging it to the USB slot
Possibly no more major updates
Possibly no more flash 10.1
After months of complaints and threads, Nokia has not fixed most of these issues, if not any, despite the long wait.
Phone is not covered (warranty) in many countries.
Half of those reasons are not valid and most are just speculations.. Why not put up "does not play crysis" on the list too...

h3llraz0r are so vigorous in doing this types of post i am starting to believe he is bought. No one could do so much trolling without being on a payroll or having grave psychological problems.

"Setting up Gmail on it is a hassle and is probably not possible"

^ go into email, new account, enter Gmail user and password and its there. took me 5 seconds.

about the lag and stability, running at 800+ (like 90% of n900s can) they run so smooth and Maemo is the most fluid OS i ever saw.

The screen does scratch fairly easy compared with others, but at least it doesn't f*cking shatter when you drop it on f*cking carpet like my iPod Touch did! that also has about 100 scratches on it whereas my N900 has 2. +1 to the Resistive world.

Someone please kill me, I can't stop wetting my self over the sheer epic returns from you guys! h3llraz0r is yet another humiliated kid. Lets be honest, most of the fools who post these types of topics have got to be around my age or young (I'm 19 almost 20) judging by the immature teddy throwing paddy fits they seem to have.

And to sum up how a lot of users of this forum probably feel:

N900 has too many good things to get rid of it, though. The media function and amazing sound quality from 3.5mm make it a keeper. Playing full freakin' MAME on it and some of my favorite PSX games is a sweet bonus

added:

Ah, who is kidding who here?! This puppy plays full freakin' MAME and not just the MAME4ALL very old romset- I guess only REAL gamers can appreciate the significance of this.... Am I off message now?
Not for me mate. I just got done installing the swingify python script, on MY PHONE!!!. For those who don't know what this is.

This is why I love the N900.

As this has been ignored, i'm going to have to close the thread.

On an unrelated note, do any of you realize that cats have taken over your thought processes?
