These are all valid points you point out that I often encounter, too. Next step: compare with existing bugzilla entries, vote for existing ones, file new ones if needed

The N900 may turn out to be a great phone but it will always be one among many with its own strengths AND weaknesses.

Yh Android does and it did so long before the N900. The T-Mobile G1 (and e.g. HTC Hero) run FULL Debian. Yes, they also support native X11, so you can run KDE, LXDE, IceWM whatever you want. So what your point again?

Yes I love the phone, but it feels very beta-ish after you use it extensively. Yes I know, that it is the culture we live in. Sell now debug later.
...
I still love the phone, I do. The promises it holds, the browser's capabilities(not the stability as of yet), the community behind it. and I hope most of the bugs would be resolved as soon as possible in the coming updates.
No point I suppose in discussing the third party apps, and the things the phone can't do, like lack of mms which I really do need sadly cause I still knowingly bought the phone
PS: this is my first post on the forum, been following it for a month or two now. But was too lazy to register
btw could somebody guide me how to get rid of the damn conversation entries without formatting the phone???
and NO I wont sell my phone
Will you sell me your phone?

2. N900 running maemo.org and engadget while music is playing.

However, you seem to have some strange css issues in your browser. Both the t.m.o and engadget sites are messed up in the video and they both render properly on the device I've used.
This is what engadget and tmo are supposed to look like on the N900:
(thanks edgar2 for the images)

well it seems to me that perhaps megacrazy has gone at this phone with the mind set of it should do anything everything as fast as my pc. which isnt realistic. The thing has a 600MHz chip in it, not a core 2 duo. Anyone who had a pc back a few years ago when 600MHz was "fast" will be able to tell you that there was an element of being patient while the computer finished having a think about a thing or two.
I'd say remember this is not a pc, laptop, or even a netbook and so if its being laggy when you have 10 things running at once. close some stuff!
Of course the software is always going to have some bugs, no such thing as 100% bug free software. People make software and people make mistakes. This is something we all have to accept.
I think saying the phone "sucks" is not really justified, perhaps unpolished but even then i cant remember the last phone i had that didnt have a little bit of glitchyness to it. So is a phone ever really truely polished? i think not.
