... and thus it came to past that the Nokia N900 was released and people were wondering what he meant by "unstable" and "Nokia won't be able to make it work in time". That is why, my children, we are gathering here around this review as a memorial of his monumental failure. Let us remember tonight, so the future generations can never forget.

My 2 cents.

I read reviews for : 1) Photos and 2) Features.
Opinions are mine and mine only, after I tested it. (October 31st, Chicago)

I have been looking to own (not owned by a carrier or another company) a mobile phone since last year.

Sorry, I can't equate fame with competence.

More peanuts please!

wifi drain is probably much less than 3G. For me, I'll be mostly without wifi.

If you read the reviews for N97 for Photos and Features only it would have seemed like the best phone on earth. In reality, Nokia had the balls to pass the piece of crap as a flagship product. (2 year old hardware specs! the worst example of touchscreen interface you'll ever see. The OK and Cancel buttons take up 20% of the screen for gods sake!)

Pre-order buyers got hosed, opinions do matter.

Has this been posted? Im not reading this mostly pointless thread to find out..

Michael Jerz from my-symbian has other experiences from early N900 proto after three weeks testing.

The device, even though the hardware is marked as proto (and called Nxx rather than N900) and the firmware is quite an early one, is ROCK STABLE. This is actually one of the things that amaze me THE MOST. I got the device on Sept 3rd or so, been playing with it DAILY for almost three weeks now, and it didn't crash A SINGLE TIME!

Yes they do - and as soon as he reviews a non prototype n900 phone not fallen off the back of a truck and running the latest firmware I will be happy to take everything he says into consideration. Until then all I have is the words of someone who wont tell us how he got the phone, and has shown in his own tweets he has no concept what the "latest" firmware is.

Sorry but thems the facts. EOL.

Thats the point of community like this to provide a way for other people to solve out problems. My N95 crashed but i still loved it nonetheless. His review is just a review he's one man and have opinions i didn't read the article and probably won't but at the end of the day you can return you phone if you don't like it. Why is everyone getting so crazy over nothing. Like i said earlier I'm getting this device no matter what because its like the N95 i miss on steroids with a better browser consider me sold!
If you don't understand why we're complaining, read the previous posts. It should be plenty clear to you.

Of course it's sudden because he reports about device for 2011. and he wants to describe it in a few words. Blowing out N900 out of the water says very much about how good something is, right? How many people do you know on the internet that have that kind of connections and that kind of insight in future of mobile phones?
No pics, of course, he wouldn't show us N920 pics because he doesn't want to harm companies that much. If you're going to say "and what about N900!?" - he did a preview week before it's official announcement and said he thinks he cannot harm it that way. He had a N900 from May, so he could do it much much earlier if he wanted to do as much damage as he can. About device for 2011. - other blogs don't know that stuff.

Of course he existed before I heard of him... The reason I noted when I first became aware of him was to show that I had no pre conceptions. The fact that he reported the features of the N900 accurately before the official announcement gained my respect... and I said so. (BTW, a lot of the reviewers I do know can't accurately report device features after an official announcement... so that is saying something good about Eldar, dig? )

I also read with great interest and appreciation his remarks about Nokia and Samsung battling it out to be the dominant player in the future cell phone market.

However, I do not see where he reported what has changed with the N900.

In other words, either the phone always crashed and he failed to report that in his first review or something happened to the phone or his attitude since the first review.

Who knows? Maybe his dog pee'ed on the dang thing.

In any event, this discrepancy in reports remains... and so does my question.

True, but if somebody's writing is damaging the brand-name of your smartphone/smart-computer-phone then it might just be worth it to make a point.

You mean Nokia's reputation for treating its smartphone buyers as beta-testers? The N-Series devices certainly don't have a reputation as being rock-solid on initial releases.
