I think the problem here is the number of similar threads... Everyday someone is ranting about something wrong with the phone! No Phone is perfect and not everyone will like the N900 but it seems here people get off on the bashing!

Becomes annoying after a while as I for one want to learn more from the threads and have to weed my way through the naysayers and rants to get at the good information... I can understand why people would want to close some threads as they (like this one) provide absolutely no value to the community here!

Relax geneven. There was no threat. There was a caution based on the way the last 100 or so of these have gone.

I wish people would refrain from leaping to extremes. I know this is almost free speech, but I don't enjoy the hyperbole.

I think we can all avoid 'annoying thread exchange' if everyone just infuse a shred of respect, decency and ethics in their posts.

Think before you post.

Your phone != your pride

I don't see threads devolving into flamefests if it's a one sided match. It takes two to tango.

If you think that list should have had different items... Well, your list comes for free. Their list is something that costs real money, and a lot of it. Maybe what's on your list simply wouldn't make sense business-wise.

No their list was payed by my very valuable 599€ and so far the phone
falls very short respect to what was advertised in the beginning
and that fact seems to be clear even to Nokia that is slowly shifting
the hype from the N900 being a phone to a more modest
mobile computer as they recognized that they phone software
is bad, immature, bug prone and mostly untested as for example
the reports for airplane mode not turning off the radio shows.

Has Nokia marketed the N900 as a phone? I'm pretty sure all the material I've seen they've referenced it as an internet tablet with added phone functions

Yes it has and still does in some places. The first advertisement they did when the N900 was launched said in big block letters: It's a phone!

I agree that topic could be something else but most of issues what you talked about are very real and it also makes me bit sad that if you take browser and perhaps conversations away from this device you got half done applications that miss functionalities that at least i consider as de facto in year 2010. But then again we have (went your frustration area) brainstrom where you can see literally thousands of ideas(basically just most of them is standard stuff that should not even be talk about because its imho waste of time).

btw. I havent seen any advertisements here in Finland :| Only in youtube.

I got hyped up, pre-ordered it, received it and absolutely love it.

Even now.

It's a mobile phone. A great one at that imo.

If there is a better phone available right now, I'll buy it.

But I can't find one. Doh!

If you can, obviously N900 wasn't the right choice. =P
