Please point out when I've ever said anything remotely like that.
You are full of it to make a blanket accusation like that.
the most typical answer is "should have done your research"...

media player?
front camera?
mail for exchange?
I'll give you the front camera, even though the only issue is that nothing uses it and it's got terrible light sensitivity.
lots of static interference... Not only me, more people have this..
it even s*cks up the battery on idle..

I haven't heard at all about this, got links?
and my N97 works perfectly there..

If you leave applications running in the background, yes. But it is very obvious that they are running. When IDLE, as in, sitting doing nothing and not running any software (like say, the browser) then it consumes no more power than other phones of equal hardware.
i have used other phones, they are all not-so-good.. but this one is worse i have used..
I like the N900 - especially after its been overclocked.. i try to find reasons to like it more, bt cant

If your questions are a good indication of what's important to you, then no, this device probably shouldn't even be in the top 5 that you're considering. You don't seem like a tinkerer and those features you mentioned didn't appear to be a priority for the n900. That might be all the information you need in my opinion.
