Hard to know, I am willing to bet 9 out of 10 do leave quietly (when I finally put my N800 down a whiles ago I told no one and then returned to the N900 because someone else gave it to me after giving up on it quietly) and it is not wrong for people to try and tell Nokia why. Probably doesn't help though.

Shouldn't this thread be in Competitors?

Anyway, you realised that the N900 is not for you because having a good phone is more important than having a pocketable computer. Which is the right approach. I am happy with Rover because I wanted a pocketable computer first, phone second.

Enjoy your new device

I disagree. It opens up the oportunity to reflect about why you bought your N900 and whether your expectations were met - or not. Maybe you don't think about this (that's fine with me) - I certainly do.

I don't see anything wrong with sharing these thoughts - the OP wasn't bashing the N900 or something.

Not to the point where its performance is similar to a dedicated Android phone.

Should still be in the Competitors section.

I thought I would enjoy the hacking side of it but to be honest I just don't use any of the cool stuff I would have a couple of years ago. Installed aircrack, nmap and a couple of other apps but never used them.

I was very disappointed in the MeeGo announcement 2 or 3 weeks after I bought it too. I am sick of waiting for PR 1.2 and God knows when Vodafone here in UK will release it even if it is published. I stupidly thought that since there is a lot of open source going on the phone would be updated all the time.

I will keep on monitoring the progress of MeeGo, let’s hope in a year or so it will be ready for prime time (phone wise).

Keep up the good work guys, the world needs the innovation you guys are bringing to the table. It’s just not for me.

Prob wise if you now posted on an Android forum eh ??
