Only pros about the device are that it plays DivX and Xvid,
Video recording WVGA (848x480) @24fps,
32GB built in memory plus MicroSD up 16GB (or 32GB if and when it comes out).
Very good browser,
Multitasking.
Cons-
No portrait mode
Who Cares, did it have it before you bought it and it lost it? Didn't think so! Have you ever bought a 2-door car and later complained it wasn't a 4-door, and that was the companies fault?
Crap battery life,
You know a Full Multi tasking Open OS doing WiFi/3G that you can do the things you can do on this device that has a better battery life??
Resistive touch screen, Works Fine, who cares?
Screen also very delicate (already have a slight indentation in the middle of the LCD not on the screen itself) No screen protector on a $600 phone?? You stoopid of something? You should have bought the abuse Insurance Policy it seems! You blame Nokia for you banging up your phone??
Nightmare how to work out how to create a playlist, This device is not for non geeks, sorry you thought it was an iPhone, it just dawned on me that i in iPhone stands for idiot.
No equalizers Don't need them, I'm a purist, but an app with an EQ came out yesterday i think
Quite chunky device Back to the iPhone for you, or WinMo it seems, they are STYLISH aren't they!
Cheap camera cover Looks fine to me, but you're correct, it is not Titanium
Unstable OS I've installed tons of Extra-devel stuff and mine is like a rock
New software updates don’t seem to do anything. The software updates improved OVI maps greatly, made the battery last longer, and the device performs much better, especially the browser, just to mention a few
Can’t reformat device without flashing When you reformat, you have to install the OS just like a real computer!
Can’t move icons, reorganize menu or add folders I see this as a plus, sorry.
How can they talk about MeeGo and maemo6 when they haven’t kept their promise about a proper update for maemo5?
The stuff you should be complaining about is whether this device just got dead-ended with MeeGo. If we don't
get the MeeGo Full Monty release, this device is dead as we speak for all PRACTICAL purposes

I would love to punch you in the face!
Cons-
No portrait mode
Who Cares, did it have it before you bought it and it lost it? Didn't think so! Have you ever bought a 2-door car and later complained it wasn't a 4-door, and that was the companies fault? Landscape is not a problem but it be nice to use in portrait. Especially when my other hand is busy with your mum
Crap battery life,
You know a Full Multi tasking Open OS doing WiFi/3G that you can do the things you can do on this device that has a better battery life?? The N900 is a powerful device and the people at Nokia know this cause they built it. So why put a ***** battery in the first place?!
Resistive touch screen, Works Fine, who cares? I don’t have a problem with the resistive screen. In fact it’s the best resistive screen I have ever come across. All I said was it be nice to have a capacitive screen doesn’t mean there is a problem with the screen on the N900.
Screen also very delicate (already have a slight indentation in the middle of the LCD not on the screen itself) No screen protector on a $600 phone?? You stoopid of something? You should have bought the abuse Insurance Policy it seems! You blame Nokia for you banging up your phone?? Screen protectors protect from scratches NOT indentation.
Nightmare how to work out how to create a playlist, This device is not for non geeks, sorry you thought it was an iPhone, it just dawned on me that i in iPhone stands for idiot. What has the iPhone got to do with anything here? In fact I might just get an iPhone and get rid of the N900. How about that?!
No equalizers Don't need them, I'm a purist, but an app with an EQ came out yesterday i think Thought you were mr. know it all? What you mean “I think?” someone who claims has the N900 don’t seem to know *****
Quite chunky device Back to the iPhone for you, or WinMo it seems, they are STYLISH aren't they! Compared to an iPhone and WinMo HTC HD2, yeah it is quite thick, like you.
Cheap camera cover Looks fine to me, but you're correct, it is not Titanium At least you agree with something
Unstable OS I've installed tons of Extra-devel stuff and mine is like a rock Good for you, can’t wait till it bricks your device
New software updates don’t seem to do anything. The software updates improved OVI maps greatly, made the battery last longer, and the device performs much better, especially the browser, just to mention a few. I have noticed these changes but it should have been done in the first place. Wow maps. I didn’t spend £500 to use maps!
Can’t reformat device without flashing When you reformat, you have to install the OS just like a real computer! There should be a factory reset to erase, contacts, messages, email, saved pass words on web e.g. facebook, google mail.
And for people like you that installs apps from extra-devel should flash their device!
Can’t move icons, reorganize menu or add folders I see this as a plus, sorry. I like to keep my ***** organized

maemo900, I've felt that all your previous posts were perfectly fine and rightfully critical or inquisitive but your most recent post here is inflammatory. It's fine to write that kind of thing.. but then step back, before hitting POST, and take a deep breath and try to reword things so that they're not spiteful or abusive. Trust me, I know it's hard but, really, it's for the better to take that moment before hitting POST.
On that note, man do I miss the pre-N900 days on here when people were mainly ONLY complaining about Nokia as a company and otherwise helping answer questions or criticisms with solutions and suggestions.
This 'you should have researched' and 'LEARN LINUX' stuff is especially disheartening and doesn't really help make anything any more useful or intuitive. Come on, folks.

I side with him on this one.. by now, the media player in the N900 should be MUCH more improved and an equalizer should have rightfully been implemented as far back as the N800, what with a DSP and all.
It is called "mafw-gst-eq-renderer-MGR". You can download it from Garage, then follow the instructions here and here.

the web browser does have portrait mode already. Besides, your n900 is harder to drop if you are holding it with 2 hands all of the time.

OP: there are far better cons than the ones u listed in ur 1st post.. btw, nowadays you have to do RESEARCH before buying a phone because u cannot trust a company to sell a decent phone.... thats the universal excuse for defending the n900
is that supposed to b a joke????
not even half of this phone/tablet is even close to perfection.....
games!).. But that will come in time.. Also along with some tweaks here and there, but nothing that this awesome community can't handle....

LOL Sweet HRZ, Good to see some people from the oesf forums here too.
Meh all this rage. Researching a $600 dollar device only makes since, $50 ok maybe I take someones word for it, but not $600. As to all the complaints ... people things improve with time. Like I said in some other places ... if you hate the phone or don't like the way it does things return it and don't troll the forums. You waste everyone's time that way.
My brother in fact returned one for a Dash instead. He acknowledges the device is awesome in many ways but does not meet his immediate needs, hes not on here flaming people over it. Just politely returned his phone in his 14 days and moved on.
On the MeeGo and the much talked about "dead end" for the N900 ... I don't see this happening. MeeGo is just an alternative for the N900, Like Mer for example. Users can choose based on there daring and skill to install any of these, even forms of raw Debian for that matter. Not death to the device like a true handset would suffer. Personally I like the Maemo 5 on the N900 and it goes nicely with easy-debian packages so I have a full suite of apps I want. So MeeGo and Mer aren't even topics of worry for me, perhaps others too.
2 Cents.
