Either way, I stand by my previous statement. The fact that I use this device but am able to criticize it shows I am not biased in one way or another.

- Fully featured browser (even though it's crippled by slow rendering, crappy interface, no back button, random crashes) or Huge step in the right direction for Nokia...but far from the top of the market."

- Better battery life than the 3GS
- Solid construction
- Excellent touchscreen
- Good signal where other Nokias used to lose signal
- Stereo speakers
- Fully featured browser (even though it's crippled by slow rendering, crappy interface, no back button, random crashes)
- Phone app makes calls fast
- Customizable desktop
...etc.
(that list exept the negatives sounded like a top of the market device to me)

"If you want a device that has the best browser on the market, but a mediocre user experience then go for it. I can't say I am not happy with it but it's because I mostly just use it to go online....which is what it does best."

Canda and taxes huh...they have equivalent taxes with the US but they get free health care...we get to spend our cash bailing out banks and building bridges in Iraq. Makes sense

Get a life, brother/sister. We've already suggested they have faulty devices, and would qualify for full replacement via warranty. If you don't take this advice, much from Nokia employees and members of the Maemo devices division, some directly on the N900 team itself, only blame yourself.

You have zero qualifications to decide the device isn't faulty, yet your claim it doesn't perform as advertised and claimed by thousands on this forum should be a red flag unto itself. I'm using TWO N900s at the moment, and both are working exactly as advertised, with no issues other than user error. You're just not very smart, to be honest, and I mean that with the utmost pity for you. Poor trolling dummy...

3. 30% of people are having some sort of issues with the N900, which is HUGE.

4. 20% have microphone hardware issues, again which is a huge failure rate.

Now, you argue with this: "554 bugs found". Go to bugs.maemo.org and do a search for the N900.

Let me guess, they'll all be fixed in the next update, along with portrait mode, graphics acceleration for the browser etc etc....
