Still happy, the only thing that I hate is, that I'm the only one in the train with a N900 xD

Same with me! Four weeks ago by reading http://temporaryland.wordpress.com/2...p-on-the-n900/ I discovered Easy Debian, aka easy-deb-chroot, and the N900 doubled its usefulness for me. Without any danger of messing up the firmware, this gives a load of extremely powerful applications: openoffice, gimp, network printing through cups, evince, djview, latex, vpnc, firefox as alternative browser with java and flash, and more. Everything very stable and surprisingly usable on this little device.

Mine is also running like a champ. Just missing a good GPS/Nav App and MMS (haven't tried fmms yet because I'm steering clear of devel after one app made me reflash)
navit didnt do anything for me (no map showed up and does not exactly have a finished menu) Maep is good for now.

I have been in love with it since I bought it. Does everything I hoped and still discovering new things. It's my first unlocked phone and I am thrilled not to have to wait for carriers to make updates available. Just works! Yesterday I spent the day with it shooting a ton of pix. I felt great uploading them all to Flickr without having to carry another device, download a card or anything. These moments make me happy that this was the right decision.

love my n900 =)
the only issue for me is the email set up w/c i don't know why it's rejecting my second yahoo email add and telling me that username/password is wrong when it's not. the second is the media player is very picky and can't be minimized...

Indeed mines worked fine for me too, and I have been pushing it. Ran into the low root space issue, but quickly freed up 50 or megs from it with judicious moving of directories.

I'm really happy with my N900. I've had it since November and it has worked great.
I bet there are a lot more people who are happy with their N900 than those who complain. It is just that as usual the unhappy ones are the loudest.

I'm glad you made this post since I was thinking that a post like this should be made...
yeah, I love my n9, no biggie problems and if I didn't have one, and read all these posts, I'd have to think twice...but I'm definitely glad I got one. I just want to hug it sometimes
my biggest issues are flaky-ness with sync'ing work's outlook 2007 sometimes and the occasional stopping when playing encoded DVDs (which maybe I'm encoding them incorrectly, or the microsd isn't sufficient...need to investigate).
Of course, I'd love to see better on-board GPS mapping and sync capability with ovi suite, but it'll get there...
