You paid for support when you bought the phone basically - otherwise, it should have had a "as-is" sticker on it.
Regardless, you do know that there are very important bits of Maemo 5 that are closed source, Nokia hasn't released them and they are in potentially in need of repair in the near future and/or updates by other bits might disrupt the BME, et al
How do you support closed source software besides reverse engineering or intelligent engineering like some of the stuff Qwerty12 had done around the music player or root.

Most Maemo haters are really just linux lovers who hate how Nokia treated the os.

Seriosly though, n900 isn't for r.etards, if you don't know what the difference is between using ubifs and ftl you probably shouldn't post here.
Go buy yourself an iphone or nintendo and be happy.
My namen is Sigmund unt I'm here to help you. Vat you have there ist called ein shuperiority complex. Ja. Ja see, even smart-alek behinds like du and other peeple in here started somewhere and wee all asked simple questions in das forums before.
Was you think that only you is worth das air time is clearly either ein case of shuperiority or elitism. Also, since du is so eager to belittle other who may be older and smarter than du just because you know ah bit moore we recognize das complex sindrome of elitism-beratement-superiority-public, or, how vee call is in der business, der arseholism.
Vee hope du get to live in ein planet mit people just like du, were people on de street tell du are neing gut at wat they do best.
Sigmund out.

196 posts, for what was perhaps a legitimate question, seriously asked.
By my count most of the posts are really in defense of the N900, and why you can't hate it, and if you do, why you shouldn't use the N900 and should get an android/iphone instead.
There are even quite a few posts which are just fanboys trolling in what should have been a serious thread.
Clearly, there majority of people here (TMO) believe the N900 is beyond reproach. In other words, most of the folks here are more likely to jump in and defend the N900 rather than listen to reasonable arguments that to some people the N900 may have some flaws.
Therefore, I move to have the thread closed.

I don't want to start an argument here or anything but I have noticed that many people who dislike the N900 was because of the "lack of apps" - now I can understand if they were only downloading from the Ovi Store (which I think we all can agree is a joke - it should be renamed to the Ovi Pum and Pop Store). But if you enable repos like maemo.org, -testing, -dev then there's more than enough Apps to choose from.
On my N900 for games I have; Angry Birds, Asphalt5, Jurassic Coaster 3D, Descent, DRIVER, SNES Emulator, Duke Nukem 3D, Giant Fighting Robots, Hexen 2, NES emulator, Jagged Alliance, Kroll, N64 Emulator, Need for Speed, Numpty Physics, Oregon Trail, PS2 Emulator (EDIT: Meant to saw PS1), Doom, Quake 2, Quake 3, Lamar Research Flight Simulators, Starcraft, Warcraft II, TuxRace, Wallenstein 3D (I left out the boring ones like chess)
I also have 2 dictionary applications, 2 translator applications, and as stellerium program for references.
As for graphics, I can view RAR photos, I have numerous excellent image editors (including GIMP), and even the pressure sensitive mypaint.
I have numerous navigation programs, and if I want to use Google maps I just go to the Google maps web site.
I find the camera to be great for a cell phone, and I also have 2 panoramic photo applications (one was free). With FCam it is very easy for me to adjust the camera settings.
Network options are ridiculous; VNC servers and (numerous) clients, Google Chrome, Firefox, Iceweasel, Macuco, Opera, Pidgin, 2 BitTorrent clients, the list can go on and on.
For office type applications I have K Office, Open Office, PFD editor and reader, AbiWord, Gnumeric for spreadsheets, I can't think of anything more I would need.
I have so many system info apps and other utilities it is crazy!
And on top of that I have DOSBox, BlueMaemo, and Debian LXDE? And if that's not enough I can dual boot into (admittedly) slower version of NITDroid.
I don't understand what more someone would want... can anyone explain?
On a bog standard PR 1.3 device why can i not expect Warmux to install perfectly, without coming up with some stupid error message regarding a missing SDL package?
This isn't a dig at warmux, as i believe it is depending on a package that correctly expects to be there.

It has its flaws granted but i hate its OS really, not the device.

Put people in neat little boxes with names on them, based on vague understanding of a system that is innately too complex to be fully understood.
Sorry, your statements are all wrong; not everyone started out by spamming forums, most of us actually bothered to read the available literature before posting/asking anything.
Fact is, someone has to keep the sound to noise ratio down. Which is pretty bad here for a technical forum.
There are usually a majority of clever readers and posters, but it's always the bad posts that try to take most space.
Asking people to show some courtesy is not elitism.
But of course, from the point of view of the person being told off, they're being "bullied". so sad.

Not that it's truly necessary.. it's not like we didn't reverse most of winCE to get Linux on HTC.
But... yeah, it'd help save time.
