-NO Video Call support!!
i didnt even notice any change in options that make me feel that this is the waited for update,
simply i feel like i didnt update or am i missing something?

I can see that alot are confused with two totally destinct terms
Accept and Expect.
You are accepting an update that fixed some bugs, and full of others?
I am expecting an update with simple amusing features

I voted no, because there are no partial options. I expected fixes, and it had fixes, so, that's fine. However, I expected it to address more pressing issues.
A hundred fixes and of those only about 4 or so actually affected me, and 2 of them already had fixes. I guess I expected things like alarm issues to supersede typos and minor cosmetic fixes.

I am an ordinary user, when i wait for a major release, i shouldn't expect bug fixes which is supposed to be expected without really revealing that i do, yet, personal expectation is something personal.
you dont wait for a promise to have couple of extra themes, navigation turn by turn for free just like my old E71
Dear N900 holders we shared in birth of Nokia's new generation of smart phones, right?
think about it

Nokia do not have hundreds (and certainly not thousands) of smartphones.
Regardless, my point was nothing to do with that... just that Nokia's ranking above iPhone is based on MANY current phones (from what I can gather, over 100 at the present time) being sold around the world all the time, as opposed to JUST the iPhone range (just 5/6 versions ever? I forget exactly, but only 2 of those are actively on sale right now)
Nokia doesn't have any single phone model/model variant which comes close to the iPhone's sales.

I dont think it's unreasonable to expect that nokia would, at the very least, make maps with turn by turn guidance available to us n900 users... I'm not even saying that it needs to be given to us for free, just offered. I personally think sygic is **** and it has never worked flawlessly for me.
I rely on my phone for so much and one of the biggest features is that of gps. kills me that yet again, we are left out in the cold with such a capable device that is rendered useless in so many ways

I'd hardly call lack of voice navigation a "killed" device. If I had it I wouldn't use it. N900 makes for a poor in-car navigation compared to dedicated devices, so I went ahead and installed one of those. Cheap, too, considering the price of an N900.
Besides, I can never navigate by voice only. I drive a 3-liter and by the time it says "ding, in 100 meters" I'm already passing the intersection if I'm passing someone or simply in a hurry. Voice synchronizes poorly if one doesn't drive at a constant speed. I need to visually confirm the route and the glaring N900 screen and low volume makes it hard.
These days a dedicated PNA sells for 1/8 the price of an N900, they're smaller, have better battery life and better software. And louder speaker (if not on FM). And dedicated car grips.
Personally, I moved for the in-dash touch solution. It feels more natural for the phone to be an addition to the car system not the other way around.

Did they some how say buy the N900 and we'll give you X, Y, and Z afterwards?
No one MADE me or you, if you have N900, buy it
all what we ask for is something get this thing on equal feet with other competitors, is this so strange to talk about?
And yes, video calling works for 3G since PR1.2 (at the very least). Skype and Gtalk.

No flash 10, so what? Is that REALLY a dealbreaker for some people? What does flash 10 offer than ~9.4 doesn't, besides GPU acceleration on a 'weak' GPU and a weak battery?
No turn by turn navigation? Buy Sygic.
No video call support? Skype. Skype. And more Skype.
Point is, Nokia hadn't promised Flash 10. In fact, they explicitly said it would NOT be made available 'officially'. If someone manages to port it and get it working down the road, who really cares? I honestly haven't thought of an instance where I thought "well *****, I *require* flash 10. on my phone. right now.".
Just my two bits.
