Useful little list, and anything that the N900 falls into on that list can be fixed with an app

I still fail to see why so many people slate the device. I love mine, it works, and does what it says on the tin.

@Bec: Yeah, you can just answer straight 'no no no no no' for the N900, unless the proper app/workaround/hack is implemented.

Oh, so you're putting "there's an app for that" on N900 too?

People have different standard

Debian has been run on it

Suppose I could but then there's quick painless and easy download via the app manager that can neither brick nor void warranty

So far N900 is as straight forward as it gets.

Oh yeah? here's a simple one...

What's the fix for the email client?

Last I heard, the good solution involves manually installing a local imapd server (dovecot) and a polling service.

Just use it for notifications and use the browser lol

I came in late in this thread, but to share my thought on it and the company (NOKIA)

Nokia 5110 was my very first phone, Ive always loved the sturdy phone, smashed it, dropped it, threw it against the wall, it still works minus the plastic face plate. 3210, 7110, Communicator, among 7 others including the Nokia 770 tablet -- Nokia was my brand.

The hardware I could not complain. The software is a piece of ****. I am a software architect and a consultant. I know how to market software and this is the complete opposite of what is to be done. (Many of you "command line" programmers and linux enthusiast wont be happy with this) -- but it is the truth. A phone this powerful and with so much potential shouldnt be marketted for a few highly technical people. Take for instance -- APPLE, GOOGLE and now MICROSOFT -- yea yea hold your skuffs and comments for later -- pure genious -- THEY GAVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT -- an easy to use software with tonnes of applications.

This phone is way to buggy to be a mainstream phone. It cant even receive a phone call when its online with its own IM software. (before you start ripping me a new one, I did everything..uninstall...reflash etc etc and nokia customer service says "dont use the IM if you want to receive a phone call" --- well geee sherlock thanks --- ******.

Dont get me wrong, I still love my N990, everyone asks what it is, but It cant go toe to toe with the Iphone or Droid on moment where it should shine -- where is the nearest starbucks? --- lets drive to that club...I got navigation...

Even if it is step 4 of 5, Nokia lost more of its customer base and lost the US and Asian Market, it is only here in Europe where Nokia products still hold the premier viewing tables at phone shops - and that is disappearing quickly as well. Nokia better pull it head out of its ***, hopefully this new CEO has got the brains to steer it to the right direction.

Very misleading title, I tried and no-matter what I did (even gave a sip of vodka) N900 did not suck.

no GIF support! haha
