I've bothered to read it, but it's a rant. Not constructive criticism. I have the phone since Launch. I know. You don't. This wasn't a phone for you I guess. Just because you have problems doesn't mean everyone has them too.

Nokia needs to build a new Android device if they want to compete in the smart phone market.

Commercially (Nokia is in the business of seller lots of phones) it doesn't make sense to create a top spec smart phone for a niche audience.
E:have you lived in a barrell for 3 months and just started reading tech news from april 2010? Ever heard about N8?

I think the poster is sort of impatient and donot know anthing of owning a phone. especially n900. This smartphone is not lost to any others phones..it is just old in design and it is its weak to others. Android..iphone..have many ..say millions apps ..however. how many apps you use as a usefull aaps for you when you own one of the two. i have many friend using iphone ..they actually installed only a few apps and some game. i owned a motorola droid and sold it at 180. yes, it has many apps but i just install a few. and many others are just stupid.
Nokia N900, yes cannot campare to these two about amount of apps, but all apps are made to feel people needs. it does have some crazy app..but i dont care..i dont use it anyway.
phones are only valuable and useful for someone as they know how to use to fulfill their needs. i used iphone, android ..but still loved Nokia 900..cause's it is the right phone for me.
some people feel frustrated with the phone because they trying to do something on the phone like hacking, install some unfully developed under tests. and when they failed ...stucked in the problems with the phone and hey ..lets say i cannot continue going with it anymore. ..then yell out load that N900 is suck and loser.

Momma always said, "If you don't have somethin' nice to say, then don't say nothin' at all."
I love my momma, but she can be naive sometimes, and she probably hasn't read this blog entry.
For me, blogging was suppose to be a little bit more than a personal diary. Either you have the gift or ability of insight or you don't. Coming on here and promoting such drivel is just more bottom feeding that we can do without.
To the author: I'm not sure blogging is for you. Maybe you should stick to just being one of the masses like the rest of us. Or try harder. Or something. Good luck!

Well said, I'm glad to have been able to get out of my Vodafone contract 12 months early so I can jump back to an iPhone

Since Meego, there has been a lot of people put off developing for the n900 as it is even more of a niche device.
I like my n900 and the community has written some great apps for it, but I can't deny that I am looking at the selection and ease of synchronisation my missus gets with her HTC desire, plus some of the apps with envy...
The whole maps issue is a nightmare, I wouldn't mind if I could use google maps, but seeing turn by turn on cheap nokia's that cost a fraction of what I paid for my n900 does make me angry. mass market or not, it is their flagship device..
When N900 was available to buy (just before Xmas 2009 here), it had functionality (on paper) that I was looking for:
- keyboard
- decent size display
- open, SSH applications for mobile, secure connections to office servers etc
- email with sync capabilities (not exchange in this case)
- Maps, I've used Maps on other Nokia phones (no voice guidance, for me not a big deal)
- good web browser
- web radio
- phone (not the best UI and contacts, but good enough)
- more 3. party apps in the future
so basically..dream machine.
All previews/reviews were praising Maemo OS and NONE of the marketing/ad was saying that N900 is not for ordinary user and will be shortly discontiued (one must be quite genious to figure that out from sentence "step 4 of 5", evolution doen not mean abandoning..).
So, roughly 6+ months later, who's gonna fix issues that you cannot "research" w/o having the gears first:
-most of settings in media viewer cannot be saved (re-select "show camera folder only" every time), cannot save defaults
- MicroB settings same thing, eg. reflow page as default, press Ctrl-Shift-I every time after launching it. No way to save this.
- Modest email is quite "modest", but a upgrade would be welcome
- web radio, no station list..
- Maemo Maps, king of crappy apps, Nokia should rename it so people wouldn't confuse it to Maps on other Nokia devices (no automatic re-route if you miss the route, no own POI's, search requires web connection, UI is horrifying etc...)
All this could be bearable if one would know that those issues (among others) would get fixed. But they won't. And community cannot do it either because those apps are Nokia's closed stuff.
In spite of all above, I'll continue using N900. But Nokia let us down with this..badly. What they did once now, they can do it again and guess who pays the show, we do.
Hopefully the community carries N900 on, I've a bunch of nice apps. Thanks to all developers.

im very happy with mine. the phone works, sms works, internet works, ui is lightning fast and can even be made even faster.
as for apps and games, what maemo has not, nitdroid has.
so what more can anyone ask for?
it is very true though that it is not intended for mainstream users. but i just love the endless tweaking. lol

Do some freakin research before buying a product. I spent a month researching the N900 before deciding to get it. And I knew that I'd have to get my hands dirty sometimes and that it will not get much support. And I love it.
This is from an article about Nokia World 2009. The N900 was never internded as a flagship and never intended for mainstream users. Nokia were surprised by the number of sales. Next time do some research. Meego devices are the ones intended for mainstream users. Nokia never pushed the N900 much, especially at first. The internet hyped it a lot because it was the first Nokia phone without mediocare CPU and RAM like the N97...
How many so ads of the N900. And how many heard about it on the internet? Esp pre Feb2010.
