The N82 Xenon's flash is such a beast, in fact my replacement N900 arrives today, and I have been using my N82 while waiting. It's one phone I'll never get rid of. If I'm going out with friends and tearing the town up, I'm not taking the N900, I'll just take my N82 for those Hangover esque random pics.

I photographed a text in macro mode and was blurred and out of focus, so I tried to landscape mode with a 30 cm distance ... and was much better. Nothing as good as the pictures with the N82, but it is unable to read the text photographed.

... I've just had a go at photographing an A4 page of text with macro mode on my n900 and it was crystal clear ... (and I have shaky hands and have issues with camera shake on my main camera) ... am currently sat in beautiful daylight however with that low winter sun bouncing off ooodles of snow ... what kind of lighting conditions are you trying in?

. (I'm a realtor here in Brazil) so the camera needs to be really good, because I need to constantly photographing properties and documents.
If you know of any application that solves this, please let me know.
Seriously you should be using the right tools for the job.

I bought the N900 seeking convenience, it will be great also no longer need to carry the notebook where to go to send emails and photos to my clients.

Gently press the button until you hear a soft click and see the green square. If the camera cannot find focus it will be red. Then press harder to take the photo. All the same as a regular camera.
oops - this was all explained on page 1 or the thread.
If you just hit the camera button hard, it will not auto-focus. I suppose you could file a bug report on that, as regular cameras will still try to autofocus when you do that, but it adds a delay. The N900 assumes the operator is smarter.
And how on earth can you take real-estate photos without a wide-angle lens? No interior shots?

The shutter in a digital camera is normally open, and just closes briefly after the shot is taken, while the image is read from the CCD (or CMOS?).
You would see a flicker inside the lens, possibly between the elements. It may be combined with a variable aperture mechanism.
