I don't know how many times do I have to say this, N900 is _not_ a phone. You don't call a computer with a phone handle attached to the side of it and would actually ring when someone is calling you a phone would you?
Many people misunderstood the point of N900 being an internet tablet with phone functionality as being a smartphone. When N900 is marketed as a smartphone people go all crazy and naive without studying its history. Then they expect N900 to function as a smartphone with very high expectations but to only realise their own stupidity that N900 lacks loads of fundamental features that are normally found on a smartphone.
Its ludicruous really, people let marketing get in their way of thinking, then they assume too much in which they get shot down like a moth trying to get to darkside of a light bulb only to find itself being burnt.
I agree with many posts on this thread, you simply have too many things installed which broke your setup. As for assuming that N900 would `just work' like many other android, iOS, etc devices, that is just showing your blatant ignorance. Have you ever seen a rooted android or jailbroken iOS running beta applications where things would actually break to make you pissed off? Have you ever seen where cyanogen mods for android on certain unsupported devices just bricks android? How about installing iphonelinux and realising that you have lots of broken setups here and there? These are all the normal things to expect with any smartphone when you go messing with things that you shouldn't have been messing with. The case gets a little more worse when a person's incompetency of acknowledging N900's shortfalls is married with installing things that were known to have an effect on the device such as power-kernel, such as programs from extras-testing or extras-devel, such as overclocking, etc. Yet ironically people just don't realise it until its too late.
On a final note, N900 is a geek's toy. The history of Nokia Nxxx devices has never been marketed for widespread usage, it was only intended for a very niche market and the same could be said about N900 except for the fact that Nokia got too desperate for the wrong reasons.

No offence /Estel but it is the phone and the way the firmware and apps interlink. and if it means i get a pocket calculater well so be it aleast i know i wont miss snaps i should really be able to snap in this day and age with my phone! dont you think???
Don't scary people with thread titles like that - for a moment, I thought You're going to jump from somewhere, or whatsnot.
Anyway, if You got such "problems" when taking photos, it's Your (user) fault, not N900 one. Really - no offense, but - it seems that You're too much behind, not others. So, maybe in fact You should get other device, and sell N900 to someone more competent. Now, it looks like You're admiring people with pocket calculators, and blaming computer in Your hand for letting You instal sh|t and breaking funcionality. And telling us, that calculators are ahead because of that. No, thank You.

It is true that the N900 is not the most dependable of phones. You wouldn't beleive the number of times I had people posing for me for minutes on end and my face heating up with shame as the camera takes long time getting into focus!
But I just love the power that this phone gives me and I love it unconditionally, faults and all.

may be you just confusing a n900 with a camera
I own/use successfully my n900 since about 2 years as a mobile pocket linux computer for ssh server control and as a smart phone
for photography
i own a sony alpha 900 with carl zeiss lenses
that is what I would use to a wedding if making pictures would be of any importance to me or other guests

Is this the first time u faced such an issue, well its kinda common, but then the lesson u learnt is to quit the N900, well once's own perspective, But for others we have a lesson here, N900 is not easy to use, but its the best damn Internet Tablet-cum-cellphone I have used, I feel its much of a challenege to use the phone, but den coming down to such issues I always prepare myself, i restart N900 once before I go for some nice occasion where I need to use N900 as a normal phone, I would be a little prudent keep my camera on Stand-By and etc etc...
Mate u were never at the "edge", u kept ur N900 on the "edge" alone!

I'd bet you had a browser running for a long time, probably with loads of windows open, right?
I've seen the lag which you describe, and it is always caused by thrashing (swapping itself senseless). next time you get that kind of lag run "free" in an xterm and you'll see you're likely around 200mb into swap.
The browser is a hog, kill it when you aren't actively using it and your experience will dramatically improve.
