If you're able to overlook his very acerbic way of speaking... strip away the vitriol and you have a counterpoint to the blind faith love-fest that's deeply entrenched in these parts.

Simply put, despite his tone, I can see his point, can even agree with parts of it.

The problem is his acidic, aggressive tone detracts from his point, much like querty12's blow up and departure. Not to mention that he spends most of his time deliberately trying to incite flamewars and dropping useless turds on other threads.

So if he has a valid point, it's completely lost in the noise.

I remember when the same things were said about me.

Big whoop. You wanna fight about it?

Doubt noone hate maemo. Maybe one or two that was tricked in to this strange OS and couldn't find the way out of the maze. Always happens.

Doubt noone hate n900, except for a few people that really didn't understand how thick the n900 really is. Of course these people thought they bought and Iphone, they didn't

The beef is with nokia so leave the n900/Maemo out of this...Strange thread headline indeed.

I love my n900 as a handset, but also very dissapointed in the lack of progress and input that nokia and meamo have put in. Seems to be a handset that they have forgetten about, im not a n900 hater as i love my device as i said.

Yea sure. I have never ever had a phone this long. 1 year and 2 months (or three), way too long time, I have lost the count. I am bored to insanity of the device, bored of Nitroid, bored of MeeGo that is hardly working, (I won't even mention the lack of "default" MMS), bored of no more updates.

But the thing is, there is nothing better out there. Android, iPhone, Bada, Palm, WP7, they are all out of the question (well maybe not WP7 just yet). So unless Nokia get their fingers out and deliver a better gadget, I am stuck with this device forever. So come on Nokia - do something !!!

yes it is the painful truth. business is business, as long as they got the money and can get away with not supporting the product after. why not? i remember someone disagreeing with me before in another thread here while citing that given fact.

I don't need a phone to feel special. And I don't "love" my phone, I love my wife. We use the word "love" in a different and more appropriate context.
