To the newer users:
Funny how things seem to get more and more closed and exclusive (in a negative sense) the further we go down this rabbit hole and as we get new users with no understanding of the true context of what the community is about.

As a "newer user", most of the threads ive read have ended up with people complaining about the N900 and how they want to sell it, they seem to stay around for the sole reason of posting it everywhere.
I agree with the first post.

the funny thing is i did research on it (keep in mind i was and xda head).
went from windows to andriod and back again (between 1 year i spent over a stack jumping from device to device).
but as soon as i saw the n900(maemo os) it ended my fascination with the others... and my has it blossomed (we got basically what the hackers of there community want..we even scared away a few bright ones... it wasn't as open as they thought).
since release date (rush delivery)it the longest i've keep a device. it's like it depends on what kind of person you are (now im not talking morals)
for instace are you the type to get a rescued dog or a puppy?(nether who decides is wrong for there decision)

Do they at least point out why? I mean--if I shelled out several hundred clams, tried to stick with it past warranty but the company screwed me for support, refuses to offer decent repair options (parts, service centers, ANYTHING), and furthermore doesn't even communicate with the community built around the platform (in fact, seemingly shunning it)... maybe they're slightly more than bitter and want to communicate that for other people who might follow in their footsteps before they get told that (as was repeated so damned often ever since it came out) they "should have researched it more before [they] bought it".
I'm just saying that there might be a reason, is all, and maybe people need to pay attention to it.
Is this problem as rampant on boards built for other devices/products? Just curious to see how the communities built around competitive products deal with this problem.

Your profile claims you're from the USA, but I can't understand your English. Maybe it's because I'm from New England and I just can't understand your lack of punctuation, typos and grammar.
In seriousness, can you rephrase that so it can be understood? I'm interested to know what you intended to mean.

lol:d(im swerving on purpose)
what my my previous post boils down to is that the people that are whining are not wrong (and vice a versa) its personal taste and thats what usually influences our decisions (this dose not make them a bad person or a good one)
....,,,''(i hope i get a a+ this time:d)

It is good to let people vent, but I am not sure it is that productive. However, if it gives people the opportunity to explain why it is not productive here, that is not a bad thing. Also, if the criticism is constructive, and helps people to see what works and what doesn't, that is good thing. But just saying it sucks - no. That seems more like trolling, and I sometimes wonder if some of those posts are from competitors - just as I wonder if some of the posts extolling its virtues are from people with some kind of investment in Nokia. It is interesting that since the announcement about the tie-up with MS, apart from the whining about that, the n900 'fanboy' posts have decreased. That makes me wonder how far all of them were genuine, and how much was PR by Nokia folks.

The fact is that this community is BEYOND loyalty and always has been. It is for QUALITY no matter what company offers it. While Nokia goes chasing the will-o'-the wisp, we are still here, still supporting the idea of the Internet Tablet while Nokia has abandoned it. Post about Nokia and ask why it has abandoned us, not why we have abandoned Nokia.
