Allow me to ask one question... if anybody disagrees with you about the N900... is this the expected response?

I want support! I want bugfixes, that's all. PR1.2 is a must. Nokia is not delivering.
Nokia IS supporting you. They're working on 1.2 until it actually is an improvement over 1.1, NOT a step backwards from 1.1
Seriously. It will get here eventually. When it does, hopefully, it will be all goodness.

My recipe:
Easy Debian, Android, Maemo/Meego i.e all bases covered for third party apps and not needing to learn Python.
Not hearing negative things like why would you want to have a 'substandard' OS on this device (Android)
Basic smartphone features.
Not hearing why would you want bluetooth mouse when you have touch screen, portrait texting when you have a hardware keyboard or a decent GPS program. Not hearing I only make one call a day, so it doesn't really affect me (this doesn't surprise me btw).
Basic communication and love from Nokia.
And a 4 inch screen
Just great and not unreasonable IMO

I am just attracted to shiny things and I thought the N900 was one of my greatest conquests.
Are your relationships with people this fleeting, also? Or maybe you don't have relationships with people, because you put all your energy into relationships with gadgets?
Ah, I shouldn't be so cruel, it's not polite. I'll just let this (modified) quote speak for me.

Best of luck, enjoying the (next) new (shiny) thing.

I am, it could be so much more, but it never seems to go there.
And I don't know but, when you say "I have no idea what phones my friends have and I am not interested either" makes it seem like you don't have any friends at all, with which you share your experiences with.

Seems like you're new to the concept of hyperbole.
and when you think it doesn't get any stupidier than anonymous threats, you find out the intimidator is still defending his threats with some fancy word that doesn't even apply in the end.

For those who are disappointed in the N900 because it isn't polished enough or doesn't do enough mass-market things for you: Nokia understands.
At a "mobile geeks" meeting, a head guy from Nokia USA told me that the N900 is a "developer phone" and that the next device (the MeeGo device) coming in the second half of the year (I suspect that means November / December 2010) will be the one that makes people happy in terms of mass-market functionality.
So I suggest you sell your N900 ASAP and put your money into a nice high-interest investment, and then buy the MeeGo device when it comes out later this year.

The N900 could have been great, it excels on openess and versatility but thanks to Nokia's slopiness it can be a pile of poopoo. No wonder its second hand value is dropping by day.
