Some of your points have merit, all of them have been discussed to death already.

Please say goodbye and then STFU.

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GPS software is outdated and is pretty much useless without voice navigation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.

My battery does not last more than 6 hours if I connect to msn chat, etc but other devices other than blackberry have this same problem

My device is terribly unstable but don't know if it maemo or just the fact that my N900 is rubbish. I envy all those iphone owners that have fluid devices.

Fragile mini USB slot

As I mentioned my N900 has been sent for repairs due to faulty USB port. Disappointed with Nokia. Their devices used to be known for being very sturdy and not having manufacturing defects, etc.

Agree with this but Conboy alone is so amazing I almost don't even care if no other app ever comes out. I am sure many others have apps they find amazing but agree would be nice to have more apps. Maybe the partnership with Intel will help otherwise Nokia can never compete with google or apple for apps.

GUI not fluid, stutters most of the time - EVEN WHEN NO APPS ARE RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND

Agree. But don't know if it is general problem or just my crap N900.

Community members mock the average user

Common problem here. People are a bit too sensitive about anything negative said about Nokia. I wish it was not so. I find it a bit annoying.

I think Nokia has certainly lost its way in recent years. Big shame. Allowed apple to come out of nowhere and steal the show and now are being left behind by HTC.


No official MMS app

Yeah Nokia talk about unnecessarily leaving basic features out. Let's not even talk about all the basic missing phone features (if you do some will just excuse it by saying it is not a phone).

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.

Only tried using Ovi maps once and it crashed my device so can't comment on how poor it is.

Music player is too primitive with no equalizer or good alternative players around, yes i've tried them all.

Bought the N900 to function as my phone/mp3/mp4 player. The stuttering on videos for first few seconds is shameful and the media player in general is worse than a £10 mp3 player.


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

Use Nokia Messaging and you are fine. I have push email on my msn, yahoo and gmail accounts just by running them through Nokia Messaging.

Yeah mine got terribly scratched even though I was taking very good care of it.
