I used the N900 as my primary device for @ 2-3 months before getting fed up with the blank screen/fail to unlock/fail to answer incoming calls bug and switching to the Desire.
The h/w keyboard on the N900 rocks and bar a few dodgy ones, most of the apps in the repos (even devel and testing) are quite stable. In my opinion the battery is fine for general use, including music, web surfing and watching vids. I'd suggest that many who complain about the battery life, have a ton of not so good apps sucking the life out of it!
If your one of the many r-tards that get on this forum and piss and cry about not having 50 gazillion apps like the I-moan, then the N900 is not for you. As a converged device it's fine, just remember, even Nokia said, it's a MID with a phone, not a smart phone..... big difference.
The Desire is stable, easy to use and offers a good smart phone alternative. I wouldn't suggest the I-victim (3 or 4) just because it's a VERY AVERAGE device which has been subjected to some VERY AWESOME marketing. nuff said
WOW, ur N900 must be the one and only, super-awesome-and-unique limited edition, signed by the NOKIA development team.
The majority of the users, including me, have problems with this phone's battery life. If urs can listen to music, browse web (using WIFI) and even watch videos, and still manage to last for more than a day or 2, then god damn, i'm gonna steal urs.
And refrain urself from being too sarcastic. We don't need 5 bijillion useless apps, but having some majority of good ones will be nice. What the hell do we have in the OVI Store?? And what the hell do we actually have without enable the Extra Testing/Devels repo?? Nothing much really. Having a list of decent games would be nice, sure we can do without another iFart apps or similar ones like those, but there're more to it in the AppStore than you think. The fact that there isn't even one useless app like iFart for the N900, just goes to prove and show how even lack of support and development there is.
It's open source, yet many complain there isn't anything. There's a reason for that. Maybe u've been living under a rock and maybe u just dun care and ur plain rich, but this phone aint cheap, it's rather expensive. After almost 1 year since its launch, and we still have jackshit. The firmware updates are slow and we still have problems with it. Hence the majority of topics on this forum.
Sure it's not a phone, it's more of a mini super computer. But it's not doing what it should be doing well in either. Come on, face it, what are we really getting out of from this baby?? It has all the potential, yet i see none. Sure i'm complaining a bit here, but some people aren't being realistic anymore. I'm still learning how to code to write my own apps for it, but after using it for 4 months, i'm slowly loosing interest.

Anyway, my battery works fine. It can last me 7am - 6pm with the screen on quite a lot(texting), occasional 10 minute phone call and some light browsing on wifi (an hour or so) and 2-3 hours of music.
I guess I have a "super-awesome-and-unique-limited edition-signed by the Nokia development team" N900 too.

Your question has been posted and answered on this forum over and over again, by people that had grown old on this forum way before I even registered. Iīd say itīs common courtesy to put some effort into trying and answering those questions yourself, which was the hint I was trying to give you. Apparantly you have difficulties recognizing a hint, which just adds another reason to the list for not buying the N900.
In short: itīs not just a concern of you getting the wrong device but also a matter of this forum suffering fatique as a result of this kind of threads being opened over and over again.
I guess now itīs time for me to look at MohammedAGīs fix for pulseaudio, which, when being used out of the box, does not work very well, despite what non-tech people may tell you about the device...
