Faulty N900 - to replace or not?

My N900 has started to forget the date/time when I remove the battery which is really annoying as I replace the sim fairly often, and use a secondary battery. It's still under warranty so I should...

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia

I guess it depends if you're here as a Nokia fanboy or as a Meego/Maemo/Linux fanboy. You're clearly in the former, most people here are the latter. Why would anybody hear give a s**t what happens...

Re: what do you dislike about the Nokia N900

Painfully slow web browsing and poor battery life.

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

Exactly my thoughts.
