n900 could have some delays but for me it still rocks since the first morning and soon it will be even better!

I'm gonna go for it! am gonna order one just as soon as the webiste works again..

i cannot believe the N900 is being written off already,

I would say but i could be wrong that january opened the door for most people to get their hands on a N900 (budget, availability for contract upgrades etc) apart from hardcore users who bought one on release and got a head start developing for it hence most 3rd party apps we can get now (thanks must go to them).so i would say from this month onwards we can get a good picture on how popular this phone will be and the coming months will yield some great applications.

will the n900 ever be finished.....i hope not.

Yeah, why on earth would it be finnished, believe it or not, its only just begun!

I have to join with some of the others here. I got my N900 shortly before Christmas. Yes, I was disappointed that it didn't have MMS. I'm now running fMMS, which isn't perfect, but is a step in the right direction.

I've never done voice dialing or video calls, so that hasn't bothered me. On the other side, I love it as both a phone and as a computer. It is a great device to build applications for, it exceeds almost all of my telephony needs, and does pretty nice in various audio and visual applications as well.

Yet the most important part is that it will never be finished, or at least not until something much more powerful comes along. Until that time, I'm going to test and play with all kinds of apps and ideas. I'm just starting to read up on HDR photography and trying to figure out how to do that.

I can only speak for the UK but I have noticed the N900 maybe a bigger hit than Nokia were expecting.
With all the hype of Smartphones in the media but the iphone to be replaced in the summer putting off a lot of people from buying and the nexus one hard to obtain at least for everyday users in the UK and elsewhere. The N900 may have a window where it considered by many everyday users who want the highest spec smartphone avaiable..

Hopefully this will force Nokia to invest time, effort and money in the N900. Maybe they will learn a good device now has a longer shelf life. With people having 18 and 24 month contracts in some cases software will become more important. As the Iphone and android have shown. Nokia when announcing OVI were hinting at that services were where the money is.

Plenty of N900 Users will be prepared to have an easier life with easy to install apps and possibly whole suites of software so their device can be modified to suit their needs/intrest. Which is im sure will turn Nokias head..

i dont think we need to worry about nokia dropping support for the n900 for quite sometime. They just like to take their time when it comes to releasing fw updates. I honestly do wish they'd change their approach to be similar to most other open source project: release early, release often. But I can understand why they dont, they want to test and make sure everything is as polished as can be before it gets into the hands of their customers.

wow, some of these responses are totally asinine.....

Nokia N900 is a phone, therefore it should do basic phone stuff really well and voice dialing is one of those things that should have been implimented from the start.... Where I live, it is illegal to use a cell phone without a hands free device and having the ability to press the call button on the hands free device and speak something like "call wife" should be readily doable....... even my ancient Blackberry 8120 can do voice dialing......
