Today I was comparing my N900 with some other phones such as Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Iphone 4, Samsung Galaxy S and Nokia N8 and came to the solution that all high end devices have something stupid in them.
Lets start from our own
1. N900
Everything is perfect except for resistive touch. Nokia gave capacitive touch to X6 which was released nearly at the same time as N900. It would have been a complete phone with it.
2. Nokia N8
Everything is perfect in it except Symbian OS. For God's Sake Nokia "Symbian" its old school.
3. Xperia X10.
It has a good hardware and Android(One of leading OS in the market) except that its android is always out of date. When android 2.3 was being made they had their stupid a**es on 1.6. Now they finally got 2.1 and 2.4 is under consideration.
4. Galaxy S
Everything is perfect but it is not durable at all.My brothers Galaxy S slipped down from the height of chest and its screen is broken.
5. Iphone 4
The leading high end device in the market. Everything is perfect except for its famous Antenna problem. What is a purpose of the phone if call drops everytime you pick it up.
I think all these big companies should merge together to make a real high end device with every feature available in the market.

In some cases, that is a marketing thing.. They sell you something almost perfect, and the only thing that it misses to be perfect will be shipped in another phone from the same company. For example, N900 and flash 10.1, it wil be on MeeGo only. On the Xperia X10 it is a marketing thing too, because they want you to buy the new Xperia Arc that has THE SAME STUPID HARDWARE but the Android version is 2.3. Recently, I saw an article where Sony said that they think that the Xperia X10 is perfect the way it is, so they do not consider that the update to froyo or gingerbread where necessary. But the real truth here is that they want you to buy the Xperia Arc with the same specs.
In other cases, the imperfection of the devices is fault of imperfect companys that think they are perfect, like apple.

yeah, um, whatever buddy. the n900 would NOT be perfect with a different screen material. we are still missing a compass, usb port that doesn't snap off, dual sims, better battery, better cpu, home button, in fact all the gps chip and whatever else is **** because they never gave us open source drivers... there's really about an infinite amount of changes they could make to improve the phone. but wait, it's TOO FAT, so we have to take out our fm transmitter, keyboard, etc.
there's no such thing as a perfect device, let alone phone.

It's not only smartphones...but applies to all other gadgets, laptops, and even automobiles. It's got to be a conspirary or just simply poor coordination between marketing research and product development

Everything? (Resists urge to ramble about utterly closed OS, Alarm bugs that they keep having over and over apparently, disemboweled bluetooth stack, stripped functionality, limited "multitasking", the abysmal auto-correct when typing, etc, etc... [well, I resisted going into detail when rambling].)

Steve Jobs has a simply business rule; making sure it takes less than 3 steps for simplicity. 3M employees spend equally amount of time just brainstorming innovation. I saw an ad once in US, where a small shoe shop business owner looks up to a bigger chain and asks, "I wonder how they are doing it (business strategy) there". And the manager from the bigger shop imagines the larger shop's strategies, until finally, the conglomerate looks down the street's small shop and ask, "I wonder how they are doing it there".
These guys should be reading our threads! It's FREE, un-biased marketing research for them.

The N900 is so perfect, it should be the last phone you'll ever buy.
Just saying.
