But can people see that THEY are unfriendly in the first place?

You could simply state "my phone is slow like hell, the Media Player can't see my music or is slow... what can be wrong? how can I fix it?" and have A LOT more people willing to help in a civil way.

Instead people add phrases like "Why can't nokia provide us a lag-free os".

Why people complaining about the "unfriendliness" of this forum understand this simple matter?

I voiced my displeasure of the aspect, and so did others. It improved greatly, as im hoping the n900 will do. In all other aspects, such as multitasking and the advanced OS, I like this phone much more than others..hence the nearly 600 i spent on it.

When I make a call in portrait mode, and then want to hang up - I take the phone off my ear and during that, naturally, it exit portrait mode, and it takes some time for the device to go into and out off portrait mode (the flip animation of the UI)- so until I can press the "hang up" red button, the voice mail answers...

After all the poster of this thread started like "everywhere I hear people saying the N900 is so fast".
I mean.. doesn't this trigger something like "may be it's mine.. may be some file screwed up, let's find a solution" instead of a "Nokia just do it better" and trashing the phone?

I think EVERY phone out there has issues.. how come people still react like this?
And how come people here still give the "maemo community" (i.e. themselves) the accusation of being unfriendly.

This really amazes me.
