sorry not aimed particularly at you (grumps312) but other posts and threads. People are on here to share the joy (and pain) of maemo nokia devices. Some will hate these devices but most will love them. If ur the later then lets try to make this forum a positive benefit that we can use to encourage Nokia to provide apps we want and bugs fixes quickly.
To those that slag off the Nokia brand/maemo devices, as stated sod off cos we love em

Same reason I bought my second-generation Zune 80GB - I had a Toshiba S60 before it which the first generation Zune was based on and I really liked its interface, even if it was not as flexible as my old iRiver H320 with Rockbox.
It's not necessarily about brand loyalty. There are a few brands I would be very wary of buying in almost all fields of purchase. But honestly to say "I will never ever buy from X again" is to predict things about the market and myself that are simply not predictable.
I like the n900. No, I love it. But I bought it for what it is, not who makes it. I'm not one of those brand loyalty people who buys whatever 'my' company produces without thinking (just as well when you look at Nokia's ramge!). But to ask me now if I will ever buy another? I could say I think it extremely unlikely I would ever buy an Apple product. But even then I can't say 'never'. Who knows who'll be making what in ten years time?
People are so prone to these global statement "I will never ever..." "That's finished me with..." Life is long and markets and manufacturers change.
The chance to get a pocket computer with Linux that could double as a phone was just what I needed. Plus, I had a sizable chunk of GC $$$ on Amazon.com

Starting threads over and over again just to complain about the EXACT SAME THING is just plain annoying and makes the signal to noise ratio on this forum really difficult to deal with.

Camera was rubbish but with a few firmware updates it was decent. I did not regret getting the flagship but I was rather indifferent towards it.
It's funny... I know people who swear by their N97s. Guess whatever complaints some have are not absolute.

positive feedback of pain fair enough but the amount of ridiculously negative posts on here does yer nut in!
There have been a few (hundred lol) threads on what to improve and wanted apps etc. Theres also a bug reporting site. We need a 'Whingers and moaners' sub category lol.

The thing with Nokia is if you don't like their device before the firmware update, you won't like it after either. I'll probably buy another Nokia maemo product.

I usually prefer Nokia because of good cellphone design - connectivity, voice, user interface.
Now it is open Linux platform and I am replacing my old Palm m500 + Nokia 6133 (no pain with moving from device to device my DB, addressbook and applications anymore - at least I think so today)
However, I am open to any another brand and if Nokia doesn't deliver that two options then I chose an another vendor which will provide that my requirements.

The only things that really gave me pause were MMS (and fMMS sorted that for me) and custom profiles (still a wip).

if no update to maemo 6 it may well be the last product, all the other competitors (android, apple, and i sure palm) are doing it.
maemo is nokis OS for the future. so i fully expect it like past tablets.
