Just contemplating the level of posts lately I am wondering what the intended purpose of this Forum is?

That's a good point But no excuse for the inadequacies on the n900 I did the research! and the basic missing features are listed in the following posts:

That said Nokia can only succeed with the n900 (or similar) when it converts dissatisfaction into innovation and ultimately satisfaction then the n900 trend will spread. The sentiment that the n900 is good and if you don't like it sell ( or you shouldn't have got it) or worse get an iPhone or Android phone is not helping improve the n900.

so to you lot who advocate getting out of the kitchen if you don't like the heat, wake up the n900 is far from perfect and if it was a little more functional I would be promoting it.

ok. you are right. we are bad. but stop making new threads, just keep it in one thread u already did

sorry, move it here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=50842

The sad fact is that Maemo 5 will never be truly complete. I agree that's kind of funny to say that you should have searched and all, but that's pretty much it.
N900 was never promoted like N97 and it was downplayed by Nokia from the announcement as 4th step in 5th step plan and meant for small market. Internet made it bigger than it was meant to be and that's why there was 3 weeks wait time to get it from the Korean factory that was never meant to produce high end phones in a same rate as Nokia's Finland and China factory where all the previous high end phones have been made.

This community is great imo. Symbian never had something like this while at best in N95 time there was pretty much nothing else than Symbian smartphones. Harmattan is still Maemo even if mostly in marketing reasons it got MeeGo slapped over it and i'm waiting great things from this community.

Great examples of this community was when me and couple of others asked application to make the yellow notification thingie to show when you play new song it's name and album. It was done in 4-5 days. That would have never happened without this community.

gud to hear dat nokia made a lil gud fone

It existed before the influx of people expecting an iPhone, centralized around those using Nokia's internet tablets. It's gotten severely noisy since December (and worse in the past couple months) as unhappy people feel that this is the place with people upon whom they can take out their frustrations.

As a result, the noise level has fallen as those who see fit to lash out (as opposed to offer constructive criticism) generate posts with 100+ replies, full of ad-hominem attacks and insisting those who aren't wholly disappointed with the N900 are either fanboys or somehow delusional.

i think of going bek into 90s fones

Indeed, no excuse, although I also think you'd be mad to buy an electronic device without having researched it first. The very fact you highlighted threads pointing these things out shows the information was already there. In some wys, people get a better quality of researchable material on here than for most devices.

You can't fault this community, there's really nothing like it out there. Great things will hopefully come from here with Meego.

I'm amazed at how many users are on here though and that Maemo even host something this large at all!

This was just an on-topic ramble by the way. It wasn't aimed at the OP.

Regardless of the tag One thing which this forum brings, much like the various linux forums, is community participation. I know that at any given stage, if I need assistance with regards to my '900 or the OS/programs, etc that there is someone in the forums who is willing to and able to help. This kind of support surpasses, imo, that offered by all the various official sites. That is why these forums are so important and necessary.

no phone is built to please everyone. the n900 has its market. if they'd change it, maybe this target group would be disappointed. you have to buy what you want - not expect other peoples' phones.
