The Opera guys have stated on more than one occasion that they will not port the Opera keyboard.

I agree with you. But still IMHO there is nothing that compares to N900, that would have a decent OS, like android. Closest thing is Moto Droid (milestone), but it has even worse keyboard, slower HSDPA, on IR, no FM transmitter, worse camera. And most importantly no Skype integration, where I live every one uses Skype, I have a data plan, so video and regular calls, chats, and file transfers are FREE, and super easy, this is the best thing about N900 you don't need "an app for that". Yes you can get similar functionality on droid and better support, but even with it's downfalls N900 is pretty damn good. Yes there are even more potential on this device and you totally have a right to be angry at Nokia, for delaying updates, but we have this community and it try to do the best it can, and succeeds. Look how many apps there is on OVI and how many are in extras (devel,test). We will have Android thanks to DJ steve, and MeeGO at some time. Only thing that N900 is missing for me is some good games.
P.S. The big bad is that N900 is overpriced. 300EUR (465USD/320GBP) is the price not 550EUR, no way hardware is that expensive, the price is high only due demand.
I am seriously awaiting a full Android port, the guys who are fixing that are ****ing awesome

Who cares?
Flash 10.1 was even shown first on the N900 back in Oct 09, albeit by Adobe, but they said it would be here for N900 before the device was even released - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pee3nT4bPw4

There are free alternatives in the extras repos.

Not true.
Noone promised it. Still, you can have the phone, browser, and several other stuff has portrait mode.

OMG, seriously?
If I have a decent hardware keyboard, why care about virtual keyboard at all?

Don't care about Ovi store. There are tons of good apps in the repos anyway.
proper navigation software, not too mention Office apps and etc

Not bad communication, just you can't understand it.
Us now May: When is it coming?
Nokia: You already got an updated Ovi Maps in PR1.2
Community: Is Flash 10.1 coming to N900/Maemo 5?
Adobe: Ask Nokia
Nokia:...
Nokia: "Ovi Store Update on 27 May"
Us: Where is Ovi Store Update?
Nokia:...

Yes, the stuff that you shouldn't screw up is not open.
Still, why should I care?

There is a Virtual Keyboard in Portrait mode using Opera Mobile. Maybe since you are complaining so much please port this to the OS so we all have it PradaBrada.
PradaBrada why did you purchase the phone on non-legal promises. It was not legally binding for Nokia to follow-up what they said they will do. Nokia helped us out with these updates to benefit the product for us in which they receive little or no money since reviews are already written. They just want us to be happier with the N900 as customers. We are lucky to even have PR 1.2. Flash 10.1 was never acknowledged to be ported to the N900. They only used N900 as a testbed. It would be good to have the 10.1 update though as this would make the phone more processing/energy efficient while providing additional features.
I have had this phone since it available for Pre-order and I'm pretty sure the 1st on in Australia to have it. PradaBrada I think you need to calm down and think before you post your comments on these forums as they are unwelcome. Why would you purchase the product as expensive as the Nokia N900 without prior research on whether it would be suitable or not.
I believe the Nokia N900 has fulfilled and surpassed all my expectations. Nokia did a good job on providing a new platform for a new mobile computer. It is meant to be used in Landscape mode, not Portrait. It is not a phone but a computer with phone capabilities.
Where is the rest of the developing community to port these simple apps? The only thing I keep hearing is:

A2DP AVRCP is finally working right, YES.
I can now control my music playback from my A2DP BT head phone no problem.
Battery life is improved for me for sure.

My phone was great before pr1.2 and now it is even better. I installed via NSU as OTA did not work (t-mobile USA) and have not had any bugs that I have read about on this site. Cell reception is still great, battery a bit better, and all the programs I use except recaller work the same.

-no vkeyboard in portrait mode
-no Ovi Store update
-bad communication with customers
-not completely open source
This is absolutely great, I love it!
-no real portrait mode
I really think not having portraitmode throughout the whole phone is just stupid. It should have been in there by now.

Don't know about anyone else but I personally think the keyboard is now WORSE with 1.2.
I used to use it so fast before but now the keypad icons are tiny I find myself having to correct myself loads. Maybe it is just my fat fingers..
Apart from that everything is great..

Love you eny...for posting the right thing .
The keyboard have to say is worse, the reason it killed the iphones before is because it was so big and comfortable to use, its not bad, but i'd prefer the option to revert.
1.2 has given me mass battery life improvements and huge performance gains, its as good as it gets, thanks nokia!
