I do have scratches on my screen but it's no worse than any other resistive device that I've used. The worst ones (about 2) were suffered back in December after I first got the thing. But a screen protector is a good idea, regardless.

And I highly recommend converting this into a Wiki page and re-categorizing some of these, as (like Texrat noted) some of these are more opinion, like the 3-row keyboard and means by which you transition desktops, than actual issues like the USB port and mp3 tag issue.

to list the positives i have experienced,
browser
1. the best browser around. can beat any phone in the market.
2. replaces the need for many online apps such as twitter
ya some times it crashes on me but not a problem as long as the xperience is good

messaging or rather conversations
1.conversations is unique and certainly better than what i have experienced on the other phones

How much are "many", 2 percent, 10, 30?

Ok, but this highly depends on the installed applications,
mainly desktop widgets.

You forget one important portrait mode support. The phone.

I want to note that the "The N900 has a serious problem with displaying proper tags for music files." its not correct statement. The correct one is that N900 reads the Tags as they should be i.e. if the tag is not properly set its not N900 fault.

When I copy mp3 or video from pc in USB storage and i "safely remove n900" the video/mp3 shows insta. Its more personal issue I believe.
Sorry I disagree with that first part. My tags show properly on everything besides the N900 media player. They even show properly on Media Box on the N900. e.g. a song by R Kelly ft Celine Dion will show as exactly that. In the tags R Kelly is the album artist, R Kelly ft Celine Dion is the track artist. The Media Player on N900 shows R Kelly rather than R kelly ft Celine Dion. Media Box on N900, Windows Media Player, Media Monkey, Winamp, Itunes and my Creative Mp3 player all show R Kelly ft Celine Dion. Surely you are not suggesting they are all wrong and the N900 media player is right?

On the second point on media not showing immediately you are lucky yours works but it is a widespread problem and even as I am typing this reply there is a thread on the Active Topics list about this.

Please do not say I don't have that issue so it does not exist.
No problem, but you can't ask that and then say:

I have decided to put together a list of known issues with the device
And:
...so potential buyers can see in one place all the main issues with the device
I don't experience most of the problems you described. I don't claim they don't exists, but this is definitely not an objective post for potential consumers to look for at the first results page they get from google, and as Texrat mentioned, that need to be said, and probably enough times to give the right balance to those potential buyers.

Also, many of the missing features you mentioned has a 3rd party (usually free & open source) application to fill the gap.

Some examples: USSD, Portrait mode (many apps implement it, now SMS as well), say name of caller (dedicated app), minimal call log (dedicated app), lack of profiles, divert calls to voice mail (turn GSM off) and so on (all in here at talk.maemo.org and the wiki).

I think someone already said this, but some of the "issues" you mention aren't really issues, it's just stuff you don't like or doesn't suit your needs.

The lack of the portrait mode for instance is not an issue at all, it is by design. Take a closer look at the "Nokia" logo and the "N900" text, what's the orientation? When you slide out the keyboard, what's its orientation? When you pull out the kickstand to watch a movie, what's the orientation of the screen?
The N900 has phone capabilities as an added bonus, but it's actually an internet tablet (or mobile computer if you like). This is what everyone forgets and then gets frustrated about the interface not working in portrait mode like any other phone.

It is interesting that Texrat has never experienced screen scratching, but screen scratching was reported by quite a few users before the vast majority of N900 users (including me) bought screen protectors.

Venemo's statement that he has experienced none of the issues listed can't be true and therefore the objectivity of his saying so must be questioned. One of the issues listed is that the phone cannot say the name of the caller. I don't think that Venemo is claiming that his phone can say the name of the caller, but by saying he does not experience any of the issues listed he does imply that HIS phone DOES say the name of the caller.
