This is not an excuse to lack behind in features neither an excuse not to do the basics but the next level in high end devices focused on demanding users. N900 as it is fails to deliver that promise. This is all.

The device has been confirmed as being an "Mobile internet device"/"Internet tablet device" with phone capabilities. Phones only make calls, smartphones have internet capabilities, the N900 is more than capable of handleing the internet.
You should try being less ignorant...

Nokia wouldn't have made the n900 3.5" if they weren't trying to make it succeed as a mainstream phone.
Fact.

Hrm; works fine for me. I see no failure to deliver anything that I need here.
Show me another phone that I can write and code a GUI app (PyQt) directly on the phone; with no computer; and run it. Or another phone that uses X-Chat as an IRC client; something I'm already well accustomed to using. Or one that if I like something on my desktop; I can simply re-compile it in an SDK and put it on the phone. No coding knowledge even necessary there.
The fact that I can't set a different ringtone per contact? Lacking portrait mode? Waayyyyyy in the back of the list of a **** I need/want out of a "phone".
(this is why it is very accurate to call this a mobile computer; and not a "phone"; as the latter implies certain things this lacks - and this lacks it because a computer does not need it/them.)

arhhhhhhhh.
That dude ruined Nokia's easter egg of portrait for apps, like the portrait for browser was added to 1.1 while the official with the buttons and all was coming on 1.2, similarly there would have been a 1.3 with option to switch to portrait rather than using the keyboard combination.

Can anyone explain me WHY is that so difficult? The excuse of "this is a computer with phone capabilities" is not an excuse anymore! I can use my 22 inch widescreen monitor in PORTRAIT mode using Vista or XP, how hard is for Maemo to do that?

And what do you use to make phone calls? Or maybe because you spend all your time "programing" you maybe have only one friend and therefore different ringtones don't matter eh?
This device was supposed to be THE BEST device out there. Show me any other device without options for the end user like this one.
Why don't you code a twitter app straight on the N900 and make it available for everyone? Why don't you code a decent "rotate-me" so people would stop complaining? It's been 7 months since the launch!!

I wish someome could come here and explain WHY, becase evryday we see more and more people giving up with this marvellous piece of hardware, just because the SO is not up to the task.

I really liked my N810 and I still do. I don't think it required a portrait mode, due to it being a gadget which primarily was not used as often on the move. I would tend to use it somewhere with wifi and a comfortable chair.
Clearly Nokia has noticed this lack of portrait in the N900 already early on, since already in October 2009 there were reports of the Maemo 6 having portrait mode. Since anyway Maemo 5 is supposet to be the fourth step in this five step goal at Nokia, to a so called "finished" product. Why not test this feature before it is released in the next iteration of Maemo/Meego?
