I'll speculate that the original quoted speculator is more accurate in his speculation than the second speculator. This is because contented users are often less vocal than the unhappy users.

if your experience with the n900 is so bad that u cant endure reading positive comments, u must have had a really horrible experience.
once again "MANY of us" have experienced the n900 mainly positive.
sure - i spend some time now and then to reconsider the n900 if was a good or bad purchase... i compare with other newer phones but i always come to the same conclusion in the end... just imagining losing easy debian (+open office), ir, hw keyb, massive video codec support, FM transmitter, resistive touch screen (i consider capacitive less precise), maemos nice capabilities & interface, TI85 advanced graphing calculator, and all this while still having nitdroid as alternative (where vsync works), and much more...
just imagining losing all that stuff makes makesme realise why i chose the N900.

but on the other hand the n900 had things from the beginning that android users had to wait a very long time to get (mobile hotspot, flash ...etc). the n900 had all of this from the beginning and could therefore be considered androids "mother"

As Grok put it so well, you could claim just about anything and pretend to have the weight of everyone (or many) behind you.I'm glad your experience with the N900 is so great that you can prance about aloof and dismiss all criticism despite anyone else's experiences. It doesn't make anyone else's opinions any less valid or wrong, however.

Some of the cars Ive loved the most have had the most flaws aswell.
I do not believe that most people particapating in this forum come here to make themselves depressed/frustrated by constantly needing to voice their anger which I believe would be the case if they disliked their device/OS so much. I sincerely hope thats is the case or else it would be all kinds of sad.
For myself the n900 is a perfect example of what Nokia mean when they say "Its not technology is what you do with it.", which corresponds well with the amount of Engadget articles the n900 has spawned.

Issues have priorities and priorities tend to be subjective. Remember that.

its quite amazing this post went 19 pages long and the OP did not say specifically why he would never buy another nokia(I read all his post)
The only reason I seen was:" Nokia were definitely going for mainstream with the N900" but he was disappointed it did not.
If this is your only reason...Welcome to life buddy.
