Should I check the gearbox oil / transmission fluid when I go to buy a brand new car??? Or should I 'google' whether the dealers sell it with the oil???
MS Exchange Mail Sync is a feature that not all smart phones have. So if your REQUIRE this type of email for work or w/e than you should check to see if it's on option before you your car/phone or w/e.

My personal issue is with all the assuming that goes on, especially from certain incessant ranters. There are certainly enough new and unique aspects around this device that people really should take a bit of time and dig deeper than they would when buying, say, a coffeemaker.
It's also extremely disingenuous for anyone to say something as absurd as "oh it lacks [insert feature used by small percentage of the global population here], so the many other features mean absolutely nothing and therefore the entire device is useless."
and yet...

And some people have reported that it works over gtalk on some situations.
So you could say that it works but itīs now fully/completely used anywhere. Same applies to many functions on this device they "half" work.
.edit
For sake of your own credibility stop using multiple periods between sentences.

. What about people who dont go on forums? they will never b able to use the camera.. It works over gtalk on SOME situations. there is no gtalk in uk
and the "in some situations" looks like the tomtom will only work in London, and it MAY NOT work in Manchester, or Liverpool, or Birmingham...

It fcking sucks monkeys *sss on many areas and is amazing on other areas.
You can wonder it's lack of basic functionalities on some of its basic apps till brake of dawn or you can really do something.

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:06.
However, if they do find a way to run M5 and M6 apps on both M5 and M6 then whats the big deal about not having M6? If the new apps work we should be OK.. the biggest issue I see here now is the "bugs" that have been reported and are being said to be implemented or fixed in M6.. Those could be problematic - but only if that specific bug is a deal breaker for you.
I mean honestly.. even without OS upgrades... the N900 is the best device on the market for me. I can't get what I need out of the Nexus One.. even with OS upgrades. So while it is disappointing to think the N900 won't be updated OS-wise.. it's still the best thing for me ATM. I just can't afford it, unfortunately. Who knows.. by the time I can maybe M6 will be out and I'll decide for that one instead...
After, of course, I watch these forums for a few weeks and do extensive research on what it brings to the table..
If I've helped you or you use any of my packages feel free to help me out.
