I agree with you. But still IMHO there is nothing that compares to N900, that would have a decent OS, like android. Closest thing is Moto Droid (milestone), but it has even worse keyboard, slower HSDPA, on IR, no FM transmitter, worse camera. And most importantly no Skype integration, where I live every one uses Skype, I have a data plan, so video and regular calls, chats, and file transfers are FREE, and super easy, this is the best thing about N900 you don't need "an app for that". Yes you can get similar functionality on droid and better support, but even with it's downfalls N900 is pretty damn good. Yes there are even more potential on this device and you totally have a right to be angry at Nokia, for delaying updates, but we have this community and it try to do the best it can, and succeeds. Look how many apps there is on OVI and how many are in extras (devel,test). We will have Android thanks to DJ steve, and MeeGO at some time. Only thing that N900 is missing for me is some good games. P.S. The big bad is that N900 is overpriced. 300EUR (465USD/320GBP) is the price not 550EUR, no way hardware is that expensive, the price is high only due demand.
Who cares?
There are free alternatives in the extras repos.
Not true. Noone promised it. Still, you can have the phone, browser, and several other stuff has portrait mode.
OMG, seriously? If I have a decent hardware keyboard, why care about virtual keyboard at all?
Don't care about Ovi store. There are tons of good apps in the repos anyway.
Not bad communication, just you can't understand it.
Yes, the stuff that you shouldn't screw up is not open. Still, why should I care?
There is a Virtual Keyboard in Portrait mode using Opera Mobile. Maybe since you are complaining so much please port this to the OS so we all have it PradaBrada. PradaBrada why did you purchase the phone on non-legal promises. It was not legally binding for Nokia to follow-up what they said they will do. Nokia helped us out with these updates to benefit the product for us in which they receive little or no money since reviews are already written. They just want us to be happier with the N900 as customers. We are lucky to even have PR 1.2. Flash 10.1 was never acknowledged to be ported to the N900. They only used N900 as a testbed. It would be good to have the 10.1 update though as this would make the phone more processing/energy efficient while providing additional features. I have had this phone since it available for Pre-order and I'm pretty sure the 1st on in Australia to have it. PradaBrada I think you need to calm down and think before you post your comments on these forums as they are unwelcome. Why would you purchase the product as expensive as the Nokia N900 without prior research on whether it would be suitable or not. I believe the Nokia N900 has fulfilled and surpassed all my expectations. Nokia did a good job on providing a new platform for a new mobile computer. It is meant to be used in Landscape mode, not Portrait. It is not a phone but a computer with phone capabilities.
The Opera guys have stated on more than one occasion that they will not port the Opera keyboard.
