....the N900 is the mysterious, yet extremely hot girl that everyone wants but hardly ever gets and the iPhone ( which every schmuck can get ) is what they married only a day before they saw the N900 and realized they made a mistake... :P

That's part of the problem. It should be competing either for the smartphone market or the MID market.

I can, no problem. If I could live with an early G1 w/Android 1.0, I can easily live with the N900/Maemo 5. Piece a cake...

As was the 770, the N800, the N810, and the N810 WiMAX Edition. Therefore, it's hard to prove anything either way by positioning on the Nokia website. (Except, perhaps, that Nokia's web group isn't keen on changing their lovely design.)
And if only you guys could see what this looks like from the INSIDE. I'll just say "ouch".

of course maemo5 is rough around the edges but its potential can only be ignored by the blind trolls.
Whatever its faults, kudos to Nokia for going anti corporate with the n900. I hope they dont go too iphoney in Maemo6 but strike a balance.

Better ring up Nokia then and tell them that the N900 is on their website listed under phones... sounds like marketing it as a phone to me.
Also rememebr that the N95 was marketed as a "mobile computer" like the N900 is... or maybe you're saying that's not a mobile phone either?

The front camera and the radio werenīt integrated by nokia, but by 3rd parties.
The icons in the UI canīt be moved and reordered, basic feature.
The bookmarks canīt be organized alphabetically. Basic feature again thatīs missing.
But itīs still a good device. Lets just refer to it as "the device"
