i am actually very happy with this latest update, phone seems way more quicker especially the browser and media player, and noticed my phone reception and battery are better than before. not to mention qt 4.7 added, the phone is almost near perfection. not very often do you see a piece of hardware/ software reach perfection these days

Why some posters are taking it so personal, if u find it really helpful update then congrats, and i am happy for you.
it is all about expectations if u dont expect, this is your own peoblem, i do,
and about that funny word about reading mind YES, part of competetion and success is to read mind of customers

Edit:
Seriously it's like a kid who asks for X for Christmas and their parents telling them it's not going happen. And then the kids complain when they don't receive X at Christmas.

Well.. driving around in a 1974 Volkswagon is likely to get you a few "Holy sh*t! How is that still alive?" responses sure.. but that's quite a bit different than the "Holy Sh*t! How do you do that?" responses I still get with my N900 sometimes.
Nevermind me Dan. I'm not getting into another pissing contest over Android vs Maemo again. I'm glad you like your phone. Enjoy.
Also.. really? You get "Holy *****? How did you do that?" I mean.. I've seen the N900.. you must be showing off to flip-phone owners.

As you so kindly pointed out point-by-point why you think I'm wrong, let me respond in kind:
And no, not everything I could think of... just keep in line with or ahead of the market curve - with the aim of being the best or at least trying. They are not trying.
This is a forum, for a range of Nokia manufactured and "supported" devices, on which people are discussing the manufacturer's failings and how they feel let down/short-changed.
As I said previously, just because Nokia's "support" problems are well known, that does not excuse the problems. They should sort this out and could if they so chose, they just do not. This response goes exactly to the point you made the first time which is what annoyed me and I responded to.
People here can help. There are members of this community who work with and for the maemo team, not to mention those who will pick up the development path at the point when Nokia do officially cut off "support" for the N900 completely. These people can change the direction this device could take or even, just maybe, influence Nokia - which is under some considerable flux at the moment with a higher-management shake-up.
Tired of it? Fine... don't read it! The problem she is solved. By not reading it, you won't be in any way able to respond to it. Then you too will have helped me by not being a part of the other type of "troll" on here.
Yes, a foolish endeavour. And by the look of it, this will be the case for a long time because the reason, Meego that is, for Nokia having dropped Maemo as the new future of mobile devices (something they actually did kinda mention more than a few times!) is not coming any time soon... they are very behind and as ever losing ground to competitors. All the more reason to kick up a fuss and make them realise they need to support this one more in the mean time, it is after all still selling quite well and proving reasonably popular on the almost zero-effort promotion that Nokia dedicated to it.
How is that helpful, or any less childish/pointless than what you're accusing him of?

Wait, so they should have read your mind and included everything you could think of, otherwise you're disappointed and right to be disappointed?

Well for one, this isn't a Nokia forum. That's one reason I can't stand these hateful, destructive threads. People with a bone to pick start attacking anyone who doesn't agree with them in their anger.
Except that the problems with Nokia's support are well known, oft documented on these forums. Crap flinging threads like these that only hit regular users are utterly useless in the short run and do nothing but drive people away. And, unsurprisingly, most are made by people whose SOLE PURPOSE FOR COMING HERE WAS TO *****.
No one here can help you. Go yell at Nokia directly. Frankly, I'm getting tired of it.

Depends, I suppose if you're a flavor-of-the-month kind then buying into this device -now- would be a foolish endeavor. As for me, there's nothing else like it at the moment so I've got nowhere to move to.
Don't you have more anti-Nokia, anti-N900, user-attacking posts to go thank?

Also.. really? You get "Holy *****? How did you do that?" I mean.. I've seen the N900.. you must be showing off to flip-phone owners.
Edit: Though whenever anyone that asks me about it considers buying one I turn them away from it.

When Nokia was pushing the N900, I don't remember them saying WARNING: We are making a big deal about how we support Flash now, but that doesn't imply we will support the .1 update to Flash when it comes.
