I just spoken with Nokia (UK) ... The adviser I spoke with sounded very very depressed (Like he's been telling people the release date for the N900 all morning) He they advised me that it will be some time next week that I'd receive my N900 he didn't give a specific date

Seems like Nokia did not expedite deliveries to their sell-in customers and have shipped standard air- bulk delivery.
They probably saved $50,000- though pi$$ed off a lot more than that number. UPDATE: Who am I kidding, I would have done the same thing

I just went to the flagship store in London and I was a little underhwlemed. Everything was snappy and just as i have seen it on countless YouTube clips... but... I remembered that it was just smartphone/mobile computer.
Not the messianic entity I have built it up to be in my head (or heart).
- The menu key doubling up as the open application viewer/switcher didn't feel natural and wasn't as intuitive as I had expected.
- In camera mode, I couldn't see an obvious (intuitive) way to switch it to video rec mode.
The above are specific examples, what I am getting at is the feel. Overall it didn't capture me as much as I had expected, the Symbian "iconography" doesn't help either.
I am concerned. As a mobile phone enthusiast that isn't a Linux developer or previous Maemo user, to me it's clear that much will depend on the level of adoption by developers, apps and companies looking to take advantage of the mobile space such as they have done with iPhone to enhance my experience.
Is this a smartphone cum NIT just for geeks??? (geeks in a nice, non-derogatory way)
I hope I am completely wrong and that my concerns are mere negativity born out of expectation that were out of sync with reality.
There were many positives by the way
- Keyboard was provided good feedback and puts the n97 to shame.
- The web browser is the best I have ever seen on a mobile device. It blows everything out the water and it will only get better. Excellent.
- Fast response times.
- The four screen desktop is a joy and make a lot of sense
- Hardware felt as solid as a Volvo. Very reassuring.
I only had it for 15 minutes so hopefully when mine hopefully arrives next week and the maemo 5 world matures I'll begin to love my N900

Very fair statement, but not good for first impressions for smartphone users, nor helping to maximize returns of the device.

I am banking on apps and updates to improve things for phone use, but am mainly getting mine for media, web function and Quake 3 type gaming action

If there is a positive change, then all the better. But I have no hope that things will change. All disappointed customers, who want the choice themselves, IMO in the spirit of Linux, have been met with a stone wall as I've posted earlier.
We enthusiasts are, and have been from the beginning, the core target group for the N900, and the bug doesn't bother (most of) us @ minhembio.com the slightest, even if some of us use 3.
I sent a supportive message earlier today to the poor souls at Nokia Care who is suffering/will suffer the full onslaught of the disappointment the decision by the management at Nokia Sweden has caused.
But did love the tagline
