Yes, smartphone for linux lovers! Can you point me to the advertisements and commercials where they said that? I can't find them for some reason. That's not anything mentioned on the video on my N900, for example.
That video was almost the same video that they used for Nokia C3, Do that means that Nokia C3 is presented as an alternative to i-phone?
Anyway, may be it is not only for linux lovers but of course they never presented it as an alternative to i-phone.
AFAI, that video only appeared on youtube, and the most of current people that uses smartphones they do not know anything about N900.
I cotinue sayiing that noone on nokia said never that any Nokia's product in an alternative to i-phone.
Regards!!!

Thanks for the good replies and I'd like to quickly point this out.
Type "Nokia N900" in Youtube and this is what you'll get:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYnx0PUX7Do
I don't see a nerd typing commands in the terminal, I don't see a geek messing around with settings to overclock the phone (why would he need it with that demo), I don't see him convince himself to buy a phone that is not what it seems.
That GUI is so smooth and quick compared to the real thing... Yeah, you will start flaming on me because I enjoy smooth GUI, but that is what I expected when I got the phone. Believe it or not, I'm speaking for many of us who do enjoy linux but also like it when everything seems to work AS ADVERTIZED.
And does a phone for linux lovers have to be unstable for the masses? How selfish can you be...

IMHO though, this graph (change timespan to 3 or 6 months) is a good illustration of the impact of the N900 on Nokia's fate
Nokia sell a wide range of mobile phones and a few laptop/netbooks and apple sell a lot of personal compuiters (sorry, Macs) and a few phones.
How does this graph highlight anything to do with N900?
Please explain.

Travel to Europe or China to check out, everyone is holding a Nokia.

I am not a linux lover - I run it on our servers, but I am happy with Vista ('tis true) on my desktops.
I also have no love for iPhones and the necessary Apple cult membership in order to use the iPhone properly(TM),
But.
I want my **** bluetooth to work for file transfers on my N900 and I want the barely functional Ovi suite to recognise my phone so that I can share data with my other devices without solving logic puzzles and wasting time. More than 4 hours of battery life when using WiFi/3G connection would also be nice.
I am otherwise happy with the amount of polish and eye candy that Maemo5 offers even for casual use and users.
Thus, there are people like me that can use the N900 how it should be used that still wish it would not stumble on basic and technologically prehistoric things like bluetooth file transfers and desktop/device sync. I also sympathize with the users that bizarrely cannot enter USSD codes due to this basic GSM telephone function not being present in the N900 phone app.
I want that fixed in PR 1.2, and independently by Ovi suite team. The rest is just a bonus.
V.
EDIT: my GUI is buttery smooth and super fast, even with multiple apps open. The only time it struggles is when a heavy flash website is open.

My N900 is not the slightest bit unstable, overclocked to 800 mHz. It is boring, does everything I want.

Nice NokTokDaddy, thanks 
The N97 mini would in fact be the first choice. If. Problem is, that it is not up to the competition 'stamine-wise'. It is relatively slow and just not 2010 tech, rather 2008. Media consumption for instance is hindered by this.
Until now (and for the next months) the N900 is unfortunately the ONLY 2009 tech powered Smartphone by Nokia. And even this one is only standard (not sub, but also not above). And I fear they will come up with another 600MHz OMAP3 in the N8 in September - by then it is going to be outdated. Again
Best regards,
Corwin

Anyway if you boutght a N900 and you are disappointed with it I am sorry about that, I boutght it and I am very happy with it, further from linux aspects I think that skype integration and webbrowser have no rival on the market.
Regards!

- Use Petrovic for Bluetooth file sharing (sending)
- Install OpenSSH on the device and a SFTP client on your Vista (e.g. Tunnelier from Bitvise))
- Use the USSD widget

Seriously, it amazes me how there are *still* people who purchased the n900 without doing any research about it and then moan about how they aren't the target audience.
The set of these people no doubt overlaps strongly the set of people chomping at the bit for PR1.2 as if it will suddenly turn the n900 into the iphone they should have gotten in the first place. It won't. It is just a firmware update. It will contain nothing that dramatically alters the way you use the n900.
To everyone: if you made a bad purchasing decision buying the n900, and wish to blame someone, there is probably a mirror in your bathroom. Confine your rants to there and away from the rest of us who knew what we were getting into and are satisfied with the outcome because we did the five minutes of research necessary.
