BTW, your arguements are from a non smartphone level user. Most people will not understand or not care- they just want the device to work and be dead simple to install apps. More to my point about the device not being smartphone friendly.

Plus many here seem incable of taking anything slightly resembling a criticism of the N900. Case in point is the strange response to your well thought out and constructive point highlighting a few of the issues mainstream users will have with the device. Typical response here to any slight criticism of the device is "then sell the device"; "go back to your iphone", etc.

- Install the GeoGuide addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/12118
- Find the GeoGuide addon by swiping your finger from the right edge of the screen leftwards, click on the gears, and GeoGuide is the Flag/Map icon at the left side of the screen.

And to all the rest of you guys-
Jesus, you guys suck.. Could you stop being fanboys for one second? My god, that guy didn't come here to trash the n900, he's allowed to not like it.
The way some of you are behaving is disgusting..
You guys are the trolls here, not him.
EDIT- Seriously, after reading all of the posts I feel ashamed that some of you are in the same community as I.
Grow up.
Not only does that scream douche move - but it does pretty much look like bashing.
Now I agree perhaps we were a tad rash in calling him an Apple Loving sycophant, but you come to a forum dedicated to a device and start something - gotta expect people are going to want to finish it.
As far as "the general user" blah blah blah. I have reached the following conclusion - Arseholes to the lot of them. I for one am tried of pandering to the lowest common denominator. Mediocrity should not be rewarded - PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WITH A BRAIN RISE UP I SAY!!!
On a personal note - as a father, I don't give a rats *** how good my relationship with my son, If he turned around and sold a $600 device 1 week after getting it - I would be hurt.
Of course I wouldnt piss away $600 on an ungrateful spoilt wanker in the first place

I am a dad too and both of my sons want my N900- or if not that, at least my G1, but that is my back-up

"These are just the things I thought of in a few minutes, but all have some truth to them to at least a trace level. If just perception, the point is the issues are perceived as problems."
Trace of truth = perception. Does not have to be real, but is to the user if they set their mind to it.
BTW, your arguements are from a non smartphone level user. Most people will not understand or not care- they just want the device to work and be dead simple to install apps. More to my point about the device not being smartphone friendly.
The MMS and portait quips are prime examples. Smartphoners expect it. Your recalcitrant (fanboy?) position is indicitave of the "culture" gap about to clash with this site.
I guess in an odd way I am a fanboy too (assuming you are, of course) since I love the media and web aspect ofthe N900. The issues I have will be corrected with updates. Most (70%) of the vids I play work and codec updates will fix the rest. MP3's stutter for me at start up about 10% of the time.
My main issue is the signal problem with GPRS. Some have the problem, but most do not.
