Gerbickery is this thread in need of some re-juvenile generation or something? or do you need me to start an argument.

Accept the N900 for what it is even if it does not have whatever going for it, it is what we own and it is what we will carry on to own.
This community is the answer to ALL problems and eventual Meego migration.
STOP the un-needed whining and the useless talk as it is really old hat now.

whatever... I am no troll no, n900 hater, I don't need pointless fart apps. But the n900 is missing some basic functions. Bugzilla turned out to be a place to give the community the idea it was open development, no tangible improvements have been made that make the n900 a better tool since I bought it at launch. Give me productivity tools, Nokia? do you wonder where things went wrong, I can tell you it happened right here. Meamo, so close only to be dropped, loads of valuable feedback only to be tagged as wontfix because lazy contractors didn't want to make work for themselves. Nokia can still pick up where they left off all the gold is still in Bugzilla, most of it marked as wontfix. The n900 hater is a frustrated customer discovering that the real light at the end of the tunnel was turned off by Nokia. don't get confused by thinking they just want more fart apps, the n900 has almost everything except some of the most basic functions you have come to expect from the standard S40 Nokia phones.
Just think if the n900 was actual perfect we could all stop innovating now.
I get frustrated when the n900 community thinks the phone is perfect because they don't value the things I think are valuable, like all my bugzila input - things I could do on my s40 phone like search and Task descriptions, cant be done on the n900. call it apps call it improvement, market success = value to everyone, and yes i agree the n900 has everything i ever wanted from a phone, except it is missing a lot of what i thought was standard.

In light of the MS <3 Nokia news....
....one can take the 'maemo haters' phenomenon as some very strong signs that Nokia (as a whole) was failing.

Then, little by little, I watched the WONTFIXES and the FIXED IN FREMANTLE pour on and on and then began to realize that none of these things could actually be fixed by the community. Then it dawned on me, "Heyyyyyy...this isn't open-source." And that's when I began to learn about OPEN-CORE software and the threats and dangers. I had already known about it--made famous by Tivo--but I didn't fully feel its effects until I owned an N800 and watched the ignored bug reports and INCREASINGLY MORECLOSED development process hide behind the moniker of being open-sourced. I think that Nokia's dishonesty, atop of the issues I just mentioned themselves, is what has turned an otherwise beautiful, SEEMINGLY unwalled garden into a reality of hidden fences and locked gates behind hedges... and anybody that didn't manage to leave in time is now watching it all burn to ashes. The Maemo meditation garden has been burning for a while already. I'm fearing the MeeGo side may go now, too. (Lest you forget that MeeGo is huge on QT and now Nokia seems to be making motions that do not instill confidence in QT lately.)

Oh right.. nearly forgot to mention the significance of the time that Nokia came out to tell us all how the open-source crowd should learn the value of closed-source. 
Precious. Do you feel it now? Do you feel the value of closed-source now that you can't maintain, update and fix the problems with your device drivers and Nokia's applications (you know, the ones you can't uninstall because the various parts of the system depend on them) on the N900?
I won't even bring up the time Nokia tried to insist that OGG wasn't going to be supported because it was illegal and a patent landmine. I giggle far too much during that recollection. Oh Nokia, you were adorable sometimes.

Yeah and they wouldn't fix the email widget to display inbox subjects with nokia messaging for "legal reasons" either, even though other symbian phones do the exact same thing. I won't bring that up. Bastards. I think they tagged everything I voted on WONTFIX.
