i have voted minor niggles due to the fact that there is no IMAP IDLE support, the email client is really slow, and there is a rather strange bug with regard to Google Talk IMs. i have raised a bug report here

no complaints!

i've been messing quite a bit with it and installing alot of aps from devel and testin depos and it still not slowed down! best phone i ever had for sure! can i call it a phone? its the first time ive had a portable device that actually has a usable browser! works a treat

the battery i charge once a day, but thats to be expected considering i dont put the thing down and im a text-addict!

So far, so good

There have been some very constructive critics here....thank you for that. You have highlighted some important areas for improvement.

I think that the vast majority of complaints will be ironed out with imminent software/firmware updates........the rest we can do ourselves......that's open-source vibe baby!

Problem is that MSN is a closed, proprietary protocol. Unless Microsoft open it up then others will always be playing catch up. Not Nokia's fault here.

NINTENDO ALLWAYS REALESES PERFECT PRODUCTS.

it can be done its just that phone companys are in a bigger market and fighting to get things out at right times. all can be as bad as each other- but the iphone was never unstable, samsungs older nokias arnt wernt unstable- yep many need the odd f/w update- but not to the n900's extent. I have had alot of archos's and they were allways like this.

but i can handle the bugs on a media player/internet tablet- not a phone tho..i need that on all the time with good battery.

nokia rushed to get it in b4 crimbo. and it wasnt finished
You might want to check your sources on that statement regardinging Nintendo. There are several issues with most of Nintendos products including the Wii and DS.

Regarding instability on fruit phoned: few of the early handsets were, even Apple admitted a few issues in the end!

The product has always been billed as not the final step and for early adopters. What part of that statement do you not understand?

i dont understand why you dont think i can understand that statement

what has that got to do why your claim that all manufactures realese products as unstable as the n900.

i cannot believe your naivity- they realesed the n900 way to early to get crimbo sales- its that simple- nintendo/sony/apple would never ever do that- many devices have niggles but not to the n900's extent.

off course they realesed thios early , its a hardware unit- like a pc, therefore it will be better when apps are buit and features introduced.

nokia should never have realesed it with instability issues and such lack of qual control

name one other prioduct that you could line up 5 devices and all of them range between 7 hours and 3 days use. some of them charge alf the time, some reboot.

lol to your fanboyish naivity.

Wow, selective memory is cool.

I once again remind you of the initial iphone release

- no SDK at all, 3rd party apps impossible
- no cut & paste
- major security hole in browser (that's how it was jailbroken)
- no custom ringtones, etc...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_OS_version_history

Note the 1 month "first update" was ONLY to patch the hole that allowed jailbreak.

First BUGFIX release was 2 months later -
Custom ringtones? 6 Months later....
App Store? 18 Months Later

How about we apply consistent expectations?

I'm actually not happy with it.. The UI is nice, it's fast, has a lot of storage, like the idea of running Linux on my phone... but the stuff I really need it for doesn't work at all or partially works:

- IMAP lacks IMAP-IDLE and the mail-app hangs on large mailboxes -> email is unusable for corporate use. I tried Nokia Messaging, but that's too slow for normal use.
- Can't sync contacts or calendar entries with Google anymore (worked the first week I got the device, now I only get timeouts).
- Office-docs can only be accessed by (commercial) third-party software.
- Battery-life is very disappointing if you actually use the device.
- No turn-by-turn navigation-software, Nokia Maps is not an option and Sygic's has been delayed ("because Nokia asked them not to release until more devices hit the market")

I went back to my (3 year old) E90 for daily use and use the N900 as a rather expensive mediaplayer in my car at this time until Nokia releases an update.

my 3 SIM does not work but I'm still picking 'No complaints' as it still blows everything I used before it off the face of the earth! If it never worked with my SIM I would still be as happy to own it.
