So you will hunt me, because I can take it. Because I'm not your hero. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
Yeah, but I'm sure you're probably nearer to the Joker than the dark knight. In fact, you'd probably win Joker at his eponymous job.

Jeeeeezzzz...I can't stand it...talk about self-gloss! Can you walk by a mirror without looking?

You're no hero. All you are is another clueless troll trashing Nokia, who at least had the guts to risk releasing the N900, Maemo/MeeGo and the community who works so hard to support it with help, info and apps you get for free! Another guy who didn't understand what he was buying and still doesn't. You just don't get what this is all about. Those who do are pleased with their purchase.

Now, to get back on-topic - sorta, at least...the Anandtech guy gets it. Finally, a reviewer who can see beyond app counts, ringtones and spec sheets! The N900 is not about app stores, CPUs or AMOLED screens! It's about a concept! Or am I just fulla beans?

-Mediaplayer has major playlist editing flaws and no equalizer

I have never used playlists or equalizers, and the media player has successfully replaced my iPod touch.

-Maemo Ovi Maps = **** compared to S60V5 Ovi Maps 3

Works pretty well, found me and directed me when i was lost.

-No functioning Application Store

i just bought angry birds pack 1

-No commercial third-party applications or games

Offscreen, rovio?

-No real Portrait Mode support

True

-No adequate usable Office applications

openoffice?

-Principally no real first or third party support

i see hundreds of apps, but nokia dont care anymore

This is where you're wrong.
The marketing people from Nokia don't ever visit this forum, just some people who like to help the community about stuff.

I'm happy you finally admitted it.

I'll answer this one for him:
No, he's not.

No, I'll just ignore you.

Really?
I think I don't deserve you!

If you are not needed right now, why are you here?

Ah. Slight paranoia, sense of infallibility, etc.
You should see a psychologist.

Its hard to take you seriously when you lie:

And then contradict yourself (re Sygic)

So you want commercial third-party apps but wont pay for them, and you complain there arent any paid commercial thirdparty apps in an application store that doesn't work... and yet others are able to find and buy those apps - and you just refuse to.

Adding you to my ignore list since I doubt you'll able to see the irony.

Actually, according to the law around here at least; if you go over the speed limit it's your fault. Not the car manufacturer, not the car or the speedometer. Case in point, I drive around in an old oilburner with a defective speedometer, and as long as I stay within limits (relying on knowledge of what gear I'm in and the RPM dial) no one is giving a damn whether the speedometer works or not.

Aside from being a shitty simile: It's really up to the user (driver or N900 end user) to:
a) drive within legal speed limits
b) have the knowledge to ascertain what equipment is needed for a given task and aquire said equipment ie. don't buy a Ferrari if you need a Honda
c) take your car (N900) to the f'in mechanic (Nokia/place where you got it) if it's broke beyond usability. If you buy a pair of pants 2 sizes smaller than you need, do you think people at the bus stop feel sorry for you and your squished nads?

Trolling around here won't fix your speedometer. While you do have a few legitimate points they're lost in BS like below:

LOL... See, something like this is the reason why I won't put you on ignore. This is comedy gold. As Venemo said, go see a shrink.

Agreed. Very well written and to the point(s). When I started to look around for a new phone this spring it really ended up with 3 choices: iPhone, HTC Desire or N900. I don't like Apples business style or the trend/herd mentality of their users (however wellcrafted the products may be), so it was HTC or Nokia. In the end the HW keyboard and the fact it was a fully fledged unrestricted linux machine in my pocket sold the N900 over the HTC.

Does it have shortcomings? Yes it does! Does it bother me that the platform seems largely abandoned by Nokia? Hell yeah, it's frustrating. Do I spam every thread around here with my issues? No, because if anyone can make me get the most out of my toy it is this community, not Nokia. Why act like an *** to the people who can help you?

Hmm, i'm in sort of a cell phone limbo and have been considering my next move. Android or Maemo or wait for Win Phone 7 but i need something NOW. Played with a Nexus 1 and liked it except for pitiful battery life and can't see screen when outside in sun.

N900 flew by my radar seeing as it's price has dropped a bit less than $400 but having been duped by my terrible experience with the N800 and N810 devices i might just hold off.

It would be nice if Nokia hadn't shut down their NYC store so i could go fondle it in person and see the good bad and ugly. If it's no different from the N800/N810 but with a phone slapped on top mainly, then i'll pass. The N800/N810 left such a bad taste in my mouth when i had them that i swore off Maemo. Looking at the app store, there's not much there at all.

What do do...
