Hahahaha! that is so funny!!! that is so true, but people still complaint ...need cheaper health care!!!

Yes it does but unfortunately this is not 2007. Back then I had my N95 and preferred using that instead of the iPhone (which I also owned). Truth is, the N900 is a test device...like a public beta. It doesn't hold a candle to any of the other phones out there because it's simply not finished. It has lots of potential but that's about it.


Canda and taxes huh...they have equivalent taxes with the US but they get free health care...we get to spend our cash bailing out banks and building bridges in Iraq. Makes sense

Argue against these Megacrazy.

Might as well pound sand buddy. This is the true state of things, not your perceived view of it.

I guess the poll speak for itself. :>

Hahah sure thing:

1. 36 people are thrilled with the phone. Completely blows my mind

2. 13% of the units are bricked...which has nothing to do with anything.

3. 30% of people are having some sort of issues with the N900, which is HUGE.

4. 20% have microphone hardware issues, again which is a huge failure rate.

Now, you argue with this: "554 bugs found". Go to bugs.maemo.org and do a search for the N900.

Let me guess, they'll all be fixed in the next update, along with portrait mode, graphics acceleration for the browser etc etc....

You posted this as evidence? What I saw is that 20% of the owners of this phone are having major issues. That's acceptable? If your using this as evidence to a successful launch or to refute Megacrazy then you need to try again....

The one thing you close-minded folks forget is that a majority of people who aren't having problems aren't even visiting Maemo.org.

I now know 2 other personal friends that have the phone.

Guess what, they love it. Guess what, they don't even know about maemo.org.

Guess what. You posted some polls that clearly show dissatisfaction with the device and that on a forum of enthusiasts and geeks nonetheless. Laughingstock

Either way, the point here is not that the device is bad. The point is that it has a huge number of bugs, missing features and even hardware issues. The point is that you can buy other phones for the same price that have huge app stores, no hardware issues and excellent user experiences. You and I might like the device, but it's impossible to recommend to anyone in its current state.

Back on topic, it's getting annoying to hear "you have a bad phone" when somebody complains about how slow the email is...or how choppy and broken the scrolling is. These are issues that exist with every single one of these phones.

So at first you use polls on maemo.org to attempt to prove a point but then when that fails you reference a staggering amount of people outside of maemo.org (2 friends) who aren't having issues with their phones and you call US close minded?

I think you just need to accept the fact that the phone has major issues, it was rushed, and it is/was not ready for public consumption..

No, the polls state what people on this board are experiencing. A large majority of them are not having trouble.

Then you tack on the fact that people who ARE having trouble WILL seek out a solution forum, this being the primary one, you WILL have a higher percentage of troubled folks on this forum.

In the end, the actual percentage to reality is probably right around 4 - 6% which is a pretty common "lemon" percentage in any manufacturing.

Not worth arguing reality with you folks. You guys have a bead on negativity and will do whatever you can to try and make a point. My logic is not flawed and you will just twist whatever I throw out there to try and make it fit your flawed views.

Just keep in mind, the minority speaks the loudest, and when the "minority" on this forum is only 20% thereabouts, then I just laugh because that doesnt take into account all the people walking around talking on their Nokias and doing day-to-day activities with them with zero problems.

I know all this because I also frequent a Jeep forum. People only visit "tech" forums when they have a problem or they're guru's.

That means almost everyone here either A) Is a guru, or B) has a problem.
