What are you still doing here???? Stop coming here if you dont like the N900 or even Nokia if its that frustrating for you.

They are waiting for you with open arms and complaints of No flash.

Sans the camera, the n8 is looking real poor compared to the iPhone 4

got the sales figures to back that up. Last time I looked apples market share was falling too - nokias actually improved in the smartphone market so emmm

Stop buying internet hype and look up publisehd sales figures

As for google voice nav being up to apple. Who owns the copy right on all of that - google. If they say no, then it's no. http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/04/g...he-iphone.html

Iphone is a very good peice of kit, but it is not the messiah. I had one and would never go back - awful browser, awful music software (itunes, why, why, why), lousy sound quality and then finally needing to break the EULA to do half the things that is should do as standard is just embarressing. And it costs too much money - I can get a cheaper device that does everything I need.

I'll save my money, however.
I doubt it is user hostile given the size of the user base.

My first N900 I have no comment for it, got rid of it especially after knowing that MeeGo wouldn't be available for the N900.
Then got another one (Don't know why I bothered?!), soon after the PR1.2 came out promising a big change for the N900 and an upgrade for the OVI store, that failed.

The wait for the new games/apps on OVI was just a joke. The biggest joke was the PR1.2 that made the N900 worse, apps, video, the home screen etc... was crashing all day long draining the battery.
People say that the app manager on the N900 is better than what OVI has to offer and I have come across apps on there that were good but people don't seem to be bothered to develop better apps, its just the same old apps on there when I got my first N900.

Every time I visit maemo.org, on active topics there are so many people that have problems with their device. I no longer have an N900 anyway and to be honest won't bother with another Nokia product again. Maybe the problem is Nokia isn't ready for maemo.

Everyone on here seems to have answers on everything and I couldn't careless what you reply with all I know is that I'm going to have a long think about the Nokia N8 but more likely I will be getting...

''This changes everything. Again.'' iPhone 4
Another thread on general about someone who didnt like the n900???

BTW, happy people won't come in and create a thread about how happy they are with it (at least 9 out of 10).

TL;DR: bye then. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

It is user hostile, they simply don't see it. Ask anyone that has had to jailbreak their device, then you'll see someone that has encountered the user hostility.

In this day and age, creative business plans are the normal. Derivative products and services fund the actual product's cost of material. Just look at the numerous 'free' services you get on the web. There is still no free lunch in his world.

If smartphone producers take into account their potential app/content sales into their business plans and try to enforce that through numerous DRM and protectionist technologies, then that is unfortunately already par for the course.

Ofcourse that is true, but a phone that advertizes its new video capability should have it integrated. It was exciting to see the editing ability presented as the 8 segments of iphone 4 and then a punch at the face with a 4.99 price tag. The thing is that nokia has a lot of apps integrated in the os, but are neglected. When you have it separately mentioned, it's like the second coming of Christ.

Developers do read this forums and are a part of them. But ask yourself, why would somebody develop for a platform which everybody complains and plans to sell their devices? it takes time to develop especially on a new os, be patient and stop crying.
