Lots of folks bought the N900 knowing exactly what they got, and they're happy campers because of that. That doesn't mean everyone will like it. If you want a polished, traditional phone it's not for you I think.

I was a really happy user of the Nokia 6600 and the excellent N95, among others. A few month ago I bought a N97, which was a really bad experience. Poorly GPS antenna, freezed screens, reboots, low memory issues, etc, etc, etc. Decent firmware took eons.
Now I have a N900. Other disappointment.

I found that the N900 is not a PC nor a Cellphone.
Why??
Beyond the camera, FlashPlayer 9.4, shell access, keyword (with some of the same problems that the N97 had), screen which is fine, the cell phone function is super poorly implemented. Come on, where is the experience from thousands of great telephones released before?? Are we going to start from scratch? No speed dial, no USSD, no favorites in contacts, no easy way to find contacts (I have 400) without opening the keyboard, screen has lag when ringing and turning, poorly SMS implentation, I mean, ok we have "conversations" at last, it was about time, but all the other features are gone (every heavy user will know what I am talking about). No MMS?? It is a joke. No possiblity to add APNs?? Amazing. A tiny rootfs partition, none sense.

On the other side, 600Mhz it is not enough as 256 of RAM either. This is no longer a pure cellphone OS, we are using a really multitasking linux! Google's phone has almost twice of both things. A terrible lack of apps (yet at least), Nokia is depending on free coders to implement basic cell phone features, ridiculous. Never expected from a big/serious company.

OVI Maps??? PC Suite?? Not fully implemented. How could this ever be??

I know that there is a lot of extras (mostly DEVEL) for solving many of those things, that IMO should Nokia took care of. No doubts at all.

So, the thing is that N900 or N97 with very last firmware, despite the hardware things, could be, or have the potential to be really good phones. N900 is not, yet.

Come on. Calm down. Have a look at the talk.maemo and you will see that your comparison of CPU vs nexus is not to be done the way you do. Then the phone functionality bah you should know that the n900 is not having those super phone functionality, full point. This has been said so many times.

With your sort of mentality, It is always better elsewhere. If you were having a nexus, you would still complain.
Enjoy what you have. Or go and whine somewhere else.
