I will be keeping my N900.

I do not find it "fraking awesome!"

Currently, it's not all I expected and doesn't fit my needs entirely. It does meet several of my needs better than any other device out there and I have faith in the Maemo community and myself and Nokia to modify, hack and continue to develop this platform to be more of what someone like me needs/expects. So I'm keeping it.

I do accept that it currently is not the device for everyone and that Maemo will die a nasty death or continue to lag in the geekosphere if it doesn't find some main stream appeal quickly.

So if I take the nature in which this pole is given (you want to collect statistics on who has returned it and who is keeping it), then despite how I might express it or feel about it, I must click "fraking awesome!".

I love my n900 and no one can separate me from it unless of coarse nokia decides to come out with a version that is compatible with AT&T 3G bands, but until then I'm keeping it.

I think a lot of people are asking these very similar questions out of curiosity because they have no point of reference - read: the Nokia N900 isn't in a lot of stores - so they have to ask these questions to avoid buyer's remorse.

Just my opinion.

I love my N900 too, but not as a smart phone, but as a kick butt media player and netbook.

1. 2g is weak. I posted about having three N900's at once and all were weaker and lost signal in areas I never did before.
2. Map function and nav is weak
3. No voice search- use it a lot
4. No Shopsavvy- ditto
5. No practical one hand operation (no adequate portrait function)
6. No picture MMS that my family uses a lot, since they prefer basic phones and cheaper than having multiple data accounts for email. Simpler too.

I paid $419 (assuming I ever get the $50 rebate, of course), so the price is fair for a media player & tiny netbook. I would not be happy at all if I paid a lot more and with the current lack of comparable smartphone function and (for Tmo where I live) weak 2g. 2G Radio in my G1 covers more area.

Obtuse point is, I would have returned my N900, were it not for the price I paid for it.

SPELLING FAIL!!! Two k's, otherwise English rules would dictate that the A becomes erect--er, hard ('ay' sound vs 'ah' sound). It would sound like 'FRAKE' (rhyming with 'flake') instead of what you meant, 'FRAKKING' (rhyming with 'cracking') because there's a vowel immediately following the consonant. (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frak_%28expletive%29) Frak is acceptable, but fraking needs a second k to maintain a correct pronunciation.

OK.. worked out THAT obsessive compulsive disorder. Whew! But then, I come from Massachusetts. Sadly, Worcestor is SUPPOSED to be pronounced 'wuss-turr'.. so, whatever.

I've been naughty...just put mine up for sale on eBay but I feel so bad....it works amazingly for the media part...but crapy for phone and business use (i.e.native document editing).
I think I might just close the auction and keep it, but I never thought I'd EVER consider selling it in the first place....the problem is there is NOTHING else out there to match what I want (i.e. office AND media functionality).

I guess that's what laptops are for !!!!
