On a side note, I actually got infraction points for being mean to BadaPrada and Danramos in this very thread LOL

Looks to me like just another rank rush to negativism without thinking it through first. How's that limb holding up?

N900 is still not for masses, I was offered a really good price by a dude for this phone but I didn't sell because I thought he would curse me for selling a phone that he couldn't operate, it may be technologically most advanced phone but for end users it lags in almost all aspects including basic phone functionalities....... its a developer's delight....... why were we so looking forward to N9 when n900 is perfect? because we were expecting something that is probably going to be N900 plus more , did n9 live upto expectations ..... leave it you all or should I say 'time will tell'..... for me on the face of it it looks just another phone on the market which can possibly Nokia give the volume that it is trying to chase ....

.......for now I'd say - long live Maemo long live n900.

What does the N9 have? More importantly, can you bring your apps immediately with you to this new device, as I can with Android and even with iOS? I'm not convinced that the N9 is a particularly well throught-out device. I'm very disappointed that it doesn't fit well into just about any use case right now. We'll see how it turns out, though. Seeing as how the hardware isn't anything special, I don't suspect much interest.

so i dont accept dan that only people on here like the N9.
Over 1 million hits on youtube combining videos shows the amount of interest from the wider public too.
