yeah, I agree, that sucks; but it still has better ui design than android, imho....

100% agree.

You took the words out of my mouth. I was just about to say that after reading stupid posts about merging with several other threads. There are more than several, and we are talking dedicated customers who partake in a forum and help support the phone for everyone else. Not the 'average' jo that just bins it and moves on without a complaint.

That for me is the point too. I became a member way before getting the device and I spent a lot of time reading up on this forum. Nokia sucks, but show me the manufacturer that does not suck. Quite sure at some point one will be able to prove that said company is just better in deceit.

I enjoy my N900. It´s by far the best device I have ever had and I get out of it what I want. I have never expected anything from Nokia, nor would I ever expect anything from any of their competetors. My joy is a nice machine, a multi purpose tool for geeks that fits in my pocket. What I get out of it is enough for now. I don t really see what I would desperately need more. Of course. all people are different. so the needs differ. But as I see it. this phone is a developers phone, or whatever you want to call it. Of course our input is being used by Nokia for the next device they probably want to sell to the masses. Every company wants to make profit and I don´t think Nokia will have made much from this machine.

All in all I am under the impression that quite a few of the people that bought this machine should not have bought it in the first place. I don´t feel threatened or insulted by posts like this. It is just someone expressing his or her disappointment. Fully justified I think, for none of us got this machine for free. Let people express their anger or disappointment, let others express their joy.

edit: merging all complaints to one big thread might actually be nice if you believe something could be gained by offering it to Nokia as a form of petition. Personally I don´t believe in it but I guess a forum thread with a thousand angry postings might be hard to ignore. Even for Nokia...

Wait, he is up to 24 and working on it...

Oh wow... I must have missed in the forum rules that for being entitled to an opinion you must first attain some undocumented amount of thanks first.

I guess you don't play one of those MMO where you have to be max level and have top gear, top rating, etc to get an opinion too, do you? If you don't you should check it, you'll feel right at home from the start.

In General section, you could create a Goodbye n900 subforum.

And also a n900 buyers guide sticky, warts and all.

I think both things have been a long time coming

Would there be a difference were it still called "Maemo 6"?

Nothing More... just Users and Developers choose a wrong device.

Only if it meant full, official support and not provisional, community based support.
