Not on wiki, i don't expect any professional company to do that, they'd be the biggest failures of the century.

Oh, and people should research before they buy, there not happy, don't get the dam device!

The N900 marks a new generation, its not mature, but its eventually going to build itself to a point where it can do everything we need it to,

I love my N900 but God knows this thing needs more apps!!!!!!!!!
If Nokia don't develop the ovistore for the maemo platform soon then i will definetely feel like i've been robbed by Nokia.
I done my research on this phone so i can live with alot of the issues that many users experience, i.e email etc
However the lack of premium apps from ovistore is turning me into a proper grouch

so you didnt do your research correctly.

there has been lot of speculation about lack of DRM etc far before n900 was announced and what that means to premium apps

Granted both you and I (and a large number of forum users) have no problem finding information on these forums, your average user is NOT going to have the time/patience to spend time sifting through 10-page threads in order to figure out how to use a device they paid big bucks for.

Or maybe we are foolish for expecting Nokia to do something intelligent!
Maybe you are right, Granted this is all Nokia's fault I still don't think this sort of post is doing anything but deterring people who could potentially love the phone away from it.....

Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you
-Go to the contacts app
-Click on 'get contacts'
-Click on 'import contacts'
-Click on 'import contacts file'

isn't it boring when peeps keep saying that its your own fault that you didn't research properly before buying - rather than it being Nokias fault for releasing something thats not finished! I did. I was one of the first to receive the n900. Shame it DOES NOT do things it suggests it could from the marketing guff pre launch.
I expected problems. To be honest I expected more problems than I've had. But some of these fanboys need to look out of the window at the amazing world we live in. We don't all have the time or the inclination to spend hours and even days learning about the next geek toy. I think its not unreasonable to expect it just to work in these modern times?
the n900 (yawn - sorry getting bored of repeating this 10 times a day - I'm starting to sound like Bratag

) does a lot of things amazingly well, but has problems with some really quite basic features. Nokia needs to prove it can sort these issues. Not seeing much of that so far.....
