Aww, did I hit a nerve? Does the truth hurt? Project much?

My point being, that such products are not free. People do expect to pay for them. Often they are considered end-user devices. The end-user is expected to be someone smart enough to make use of them in home projects or small-run products they then re-sell. They're also expected to research them enough to choose the right product for them, or to not complain that it doesn't do X Y or Z when it was never advertised to do such things.

Yes, even as an end user, not every device handles everything. Were you on the iPhone boards when they initially came out whining about them not supporting MMS? Did you whine there every month for 13 months about how they didn't see a single software upgrade, and that this phone line is unsupported and dead? Did you complain about the low bandwidth in 3G because of the explosion of iPhone users, and how most people were carrying a second phone because the iPhone as a phone was crap? If not, why are you doing it here?

You've yet to address anything factual said to you:

The phone never claimed to do MMS, yet there was an app available within a month of launch to support it. It works fine as a phone for 98% of the use cases out there, and what little it doesn't do (namely SDDS) is being fixed rather rapidly. It's had 2 major software updates in under 6 months, with another one mere days away, a better support record than virtually any device I've owned or heard about in my entire life in the tech industry.

I love this device. It's more than I expected it to be, and I had the bar set pretty high to start with. It does things one can't do on most netbooks, yet alone one that's also phone. You don't like it, sucks to be you, if you hate it so much sell it and go get something you like. (Assuming you even own one, which I doubt.)

In any case, if you're not looking to do something constructive to help build this device and this community up, you're not needed. We've gotten your input... you don't like it. You've stated your case and your reasons. Great. We've ever recorded it here for posterity. We don't need to hear why you dislike it in every thread on the forum for the rest of our lives.

Some people call it feedback.

As long as this community goes on, than so will all the missing features of the Nokia N900 be covered, like MMS.
FMMS, covers it.
MeeGo does present a problem, and personally I hate it, I love the UI on the Maemo5, and i just love it. I do admit it has its bugs, and this and that, but generally I LOVE my Nokia N900.
My second life.

It maybe hard to see but I want the n900 to succeed. Similarly I don't like to see users with bricks not for for their purpose when they could have bought 5 different better suited devices for the same price.

Anyway, my points are here like you said.

And if the feedback is pro-Nokia N900, it seems like it's all okay with these forums.

Mind you, I'm not attacking you, nor pointing you out directly... but seriously, that's pretty damn sad. Somebody has legitimate grievances, a lot of you people attack.

Somebody heaps praise, and you people adore that. Sheesh. Why not be in the middle and see why somebody loves it as well as see why somebody dislikes it...

Commiserating? How so? You have said in several threads you don't even own an N900. How can you commiserate about something you know nothing about? Why are you even here?

I don't own a Voltwagon, and am disappointed that they haven't put out a decent car in a couple decades. But I haven't signed up to a VW board to bemoan what a piece of crap the Jetta is, or how their next year models look like tin cans on wheels.

Why are you and your fellow green-skinned kin sticking around here, chatting about something you don't own and know nearly nothing about? Can you answer that simple question? Any of the trolls? Please?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Have you ever supported a sports team woody?

Ok dude, you've been following me around long enough. Let's get this out, cleared up to where even a simpleton as yourself can fully understand.

Point 1: I've been here since OS2006. I bought a 770, loved it. I stuck around, bought a N810 when they were first released. Still love it. Why would I still be here? Because I wanted to have a decent cellphone based on the Maemo OS that I actually do like... quite a ****ing bit.

Point 2:Why didn't I buy a N900? Easy... I've said this before your troll *** ever signed up... I don't want to go through another waiting period like I had to go through with the Apple iPhone - which, I've gotten each and every iteration of that platform for free. Now... does that mean I'm not curious about the N900? No dumbass, I still like Maemo.

Point 3:I've generated documents to help out those stuck on OS2008. I've tried to keep the ****ing peace when screaming idiots like yourself keep popping up and ultimately making a mockery of these MAEMO FORUMS that house not only N900 owners, but legacy Maemo device owners. I come here because this is where the information is located. What exactly have you ever done other than rant and rave and ultimately make newcomers think that you represent the majority, instead of being that silent, idiotic minority that you should be whilst here. Simply put... learn to shut up.

And yet, I still have to justify my ****ing presence to a lowly cretin like yourself somehow. Seriously, place me on ignore, leave me the **** alone. Don't like that I'm here, you deal with that and address me never again.

It's spelled Volkswagen. And I've owned one in the past, and when I was looking to purchase another, I decided not to, bought Ford stock when it was incredibly low, then bought a Ford Mustang. Later down the line, I might return to a Volkswagen...

Apply that to the Nokia N900 and my current ownership of my Apple iPhone. Read that even though I might enjoy it now, I'd rather be elsewhere. Savvy?

Sounds like a personal problem to me. You'll be ok. Other options exist. Explore them.

I know more about it than you might. Not only have I used one, I have access to one. I'm waiting on a compelling reason to purchase my own. I refuse to wait for the platform to grow, or in this case, die. Twice bitten by Nokia pertaining Maemo has made me shy.

Even a person of your caliber can understand that. Now... begone. You're quite the troll.

Yes, starting a thread with a name "Nokia N900 graveyard" and then proceeding to insult anyone that actually LIKES the N900 is clearly constructtive and sure to garner sympathy. Silly me...
