so you are blaming buggy apps on Nokia. I also don't any high end device with awesome battery life. Sure, the phone has issues but address them logically.

Personally, I love my N900, but then again I'm a debian die-hard.
I'm the opposite of the OP, I have literally stopped using my laptop because with my N900 I can wirelessly log into a server, check to make sure things are working right, tail, whatever I wish to do my job (I'm a Linux administrator.) The fact that I can even browse to the Flash Operator Panel on our asterisk machine with it just rocks. I'd like to see the iPhone or... well hell anything else do that. Android soon enough, but still...

I do really wonder,
do we buy a device to waste our time waiting for its softwares to get completed, is it logic that it has been more than a month since I bought the device and i don't even know, if its front camera and infrared working or not because Nokia didn't spend enough time to develop its software,
is it logic that this massive numbers of negative feedbacks is getting more and more on incompatible software or bug in the system that let you can't even do what you are working on.
i'm really pissed off and disappointed from this device, i'm not using it coz every time i use it, i couldn't get my work done on it in what so ever the field i am using it in,
the battery has to be charged two times daily other wise you have to leave the device on the shelf to save its power
A lot of application bugs and internal problems
and now i can't even remove my applications or install a new ones
thank you Nokia
But after that, it was very clear that the N900 was intended as a developers and hackers pet. Sure it can be used by normal people, but it's main function is to be hacked and mess around with it, brick it way too many times etc..
And it was very clear that Maemo was a young OS and needed some work, so lack of apps and buggy software was to be expected.
At least that's the idea I got from everywhere I looked after November. Besides I don't mind the buggy software. Actually to me it's not buggy at all. It rarely gives me errors and most errors come after installing from extras-devel. The front camera can be used and does work in video calling and an app called mirror. The IR module can be used to control DSLR cameras, or a dreambox..or whatever or with Irreco although none of the appliances I own are listed there

Its a love/hate relationship for me. Sometimes I hate it that I nearly want to bash it to the ground, sometimes I cant live without it.

I don't entirely agree with your sentiments.. but then, maybe you should have researched this device more. (drinK!)

Unfortunately there are no gsm android phones with a camera as good a the one on my n900 and that's why I can't jump ship...

as i said from other threads, the n900 gave me an expression like; "what the hell is this?" or/and "this is overwhelming! i need more research to use this phone on the fullest! a Challenge! I like it!"
in short, a very new and awesome experience for me, new OS, hardware??? and most of the apps are from developers and men! i love the way that i am dealing with the person who develop the app i installed and helping me solve my problems! (unlike famous companies who make apps that will respond to you, via e-mail)
EDIT: if i got enough knowledge, i might be uploading my own app on the repos too.
