I like the post but its just making another thread thats just going to be flame wars. why not post on one of the already 'large' threads.
it always good to here an opinion, especially one that is not very similar to my own.

I suppose you have the right to express your opinion even if i disagree with you....
But when your opinion is that i'm a "mug" i have the right to not only disagree with you, but to ignore all else that you say and tell you to bugger off then.

@berty - I agree with your logic and reasons. At the end of the day it's your own decision.
Why did you need to post this though? theres been many (many) like it before - and it's really just a statement of your opinions.

Its not a stupid post. I'm on the same moment. I didn't had N97 but I feel the same, exactly. On tuesday I will start testing my new HTC Desire. N900 has an excellent HW but I need a phone that really has a productive and stable SW. The email is powerful but needs better implementation. Got the same camera problem and in that case I need to reboot because "pulseaudio" starts eating battery. I paied a lot for it and need problems be solved quickly.
Been with Nokia since I have phone. It's time to open my mind.
Probably will sell my N900 or have it to see if finally becomes better than other alternatives. I think it has the chance to be the best phone, but probably we will have to wait to MeeGO. .

Well I finally decided that I can no longer be a loyal customer to Nokia. After the N97 debacle, and then moving onto the N900 I thought best to call it quits.
I do like the N900, great display, much better than my wife's iphone, keyboard is great for typing, apart from no long press for the blue symbols (yet). Browser is excellent, but a bit fiddly sometimes trying to navigate certain websites.
Camera is ok when it works, 50% of the time I take a photo and the shutter sounds stalls for a while and then usually the processing screen stays on for a while so you don't know if the photo has been taken properly, usually not.
My main issue is just the lack of apps, I love apps, downloaded loads on my N97, when it wasn't freezing on me! I miss Google maps, Nimbuzz, Fishtext, Ebay app to name a few that are all on the iphone. Also I miss portrait mode. I need to use my gadget one handed when needed and the N900 is just not up to that task and never will be based on what I've read, down to personal choice I guess.
Yes I know no multi-tasking (yet) and the N900 excells in that department, but I'll either jailbreak my new iphone or wait for the OS4 update (Nokia has taught us all patience is a virtue!)
Waiting for new firmwares from Nokia has tested me too much, lack of apps, and I feel this Maemo thing is a failed experiment and Nokia have taken a lot of people for mugs getting them to shell over £500 or so buying experimental handsets.
Nokia won't reply to peoples issues since buying my N97 last year they've hardly commented on anything, same with the N900, we just have to wait and see what happens, buyers should have more say I think is fair.
Apple support is pretty good from what I've seen.
At the end of the day it comes down to apps for me and no one can compete with Apple unfortunately.
Anyway got a mint N900 for sale which will probably go on Ebay unless anyone wants to offer me £350 for it and I'll throw in a free 8GB SD card too. Paid £390 for a new iphone on ebay (16GB model) but I never watch the movies etc I store on my N900 so 16GB will be fine. Just want my money back out of it.
I'll keep tabs on Maemo, Meego etc, but doubt it'll go very far.
Just my 2 pence worth anyway fellas.

Good luck with the phone mate.I'll be making the same move myself as soon as i sell my n900.It's a great device but not worth the money.Even tho the iPhone isnt open source,it simply does more when it comes to my own personal needs.

Essentially, people on here need to grow up a bit and stop taking criticism as a personal attack.
If the post is unreasoned or inflammatory, we should have an admin delete that post and not buy in to what the poster wants.
In the case of a post like this, instead of gunning the OP down, why not discuss with that person and learn? The level of immaturity (and the number of immature posters) with regards to such posts make me shudder...!!
