Professor James Lovelock said today on the bbc news "We can't save the planet" now the thing is .... can Nokia save the N900 because right now it is nothing more than a play thing for childish developers who are trying so desperatley to make the N900 a mobile that we can actually use ! all i see is a lot of useless comments and hopes useless games and nothing in reply at all from the manufacturer to put anyones mind at rest regarding the mess they have made of the completely useless design of the N900 and its inadiquaited functions to date. Now all i see is games and useless software that was superceded by the likes of the atari and amiga etc and they cant be played properly because of the screen size. Please Nokia stop playing games with people and realise we all paid £500 or so for this piece of junk that is giving everyone a headache. I am afraid to say it really looks like the joke is on us for buying it in the first place.... oh well its made a few bob for Nokia and given them a hell of a lot of feedback for the next maemo device. GOOD THINKING NOKIA !!!

I live in useless hope but its true if you look closer to what has happened here and read all the junk, oh what a headache.

The big question to Nokia is... WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR THE NOKIA N900 ?

Glancing over your post, I thought today is the end of the world....

Get a Nexus One or Droid or Palm or iPhone, you would live happier.

Seriously, if PR1.2 ETA is now MAY, the future of Nokia N900 will be "the first world phone with a screen hole" just under now we can see refresh icon... but this is a new feature, because we'll be able to change battery without opening the device... or perhaps PR1.2 is only part of this big paying betatesters project we're involved, and now they need to know how many "click" hits break our screen (mine looks slighty depressed there just now)

Thanks for your comments but sad to inform you that you just cannot fob people off by that quote because of the facts surrounding this Nokia N900... when people start to get serious and maybe getting together a lawsuite against Nokia for the highly overated mess they have sold us as a mobile... just maybe we will get some results because (and dont forget this) £500 is a hell of a lot of money for a useless mobile.

Abill, you're right. I never accepted some kind of "as is" clausule when I open my N900 box, neither when I first boot it... YOU MUST DO IT WHEN YOU BUY A PC, so hardware manufacturers can deny software-related issues (at first Windows start you must accept "as is" ). This mean that SOFT BUGS ARE UNDER WARRANTY.

When I bought my N900 it was pretty obvious to me what it can and what it cannot do. I don't understand people here raging about being misled or being surprised at what they spent their money on. Of course if you were misled by the store you bought the N900 from then it's up to that store to be responsible for giving false information. But I haven't seen any false advertising from Nokia about N900. They have been actually quite open about N900 being a bit of a nerd device and that it's not complete package like their Symbian phones are. And N900 can do things Nokia says it can.

Sure I wish also that there was much more software for N900, but then again I knew that I wasn't buying an iPhone with thousands of apps ready for it. I find the whole linux-thing fascinating (I'm a mac & windows 7 user myself) and its fun to try out new free software that's coming almost daily.

So I'm just saying that you can do tons of stuff with N900 at the moment. I surf the net with it, read RSS-feeds with it, play poker with it (I'm actually a bit addicted to PokerTH at the moment), write stuff with the nice keyboard etc etc. I mean really, sometimes it's good to focus on the positives and forget what you can't do with the device you own.

I don't know whether my next device will be MeeGo-device, but at the moment I'm happy with N900. I must admit iPhone with its absolutely enormous library of apps is appealing, and maybe I'll buy iPhone one day (when it's more like N900 really).
