You should be making your purchase decisions basing on the features the device has already, not on the probable features it might eventually get in the unforeseeable future.
This way you won't be disappointed waiting for things that may or may not happen.
In other words: Expect nothing more from the company that you buy something from...not even what's being advertised by them,
Are you serious?
The N900 cost more than most devices out there. I think it is not too much to ask for that this device at least supports what has been promised. And a lot of things are yet to be fixed, even after PR1.2.
@Mengs
I think that in this case we have promises that are so vague that you can extrapolate anything from them to any direction you want to. Also giving onscreen gps that works but doesn´t have basically defacto (but not mentioned) route rerouting would be better example.
"It kind of can do this and this in this partical way if you hammer it a bit and lower your expectations"
This ovi sitsuation is so amazingly sad. Do they have any customer relations or real support people working. Better than be quiet would be to admit fck up and say that we are expecting to fix this in week. Customers are human beigns and forgive to some extent but not giving information at all is just arrogant. So weird because on the other hand they just try to make themselves socially active and open to customers but still fail on really basic things.
Edit: And by unfair, I mean your sentence that we should buy products that already have features implemented in them when we buy them. That is simply not true, because if we are promised x, y and z features in the future, and we are buying a product based on this knowledge.
No, thats not ok. What do they mean with "we’re looking into the Ovi Store update for the N900"? That the payment system still does not work just like after the 1.1 update? So we have to wait some more months to get commercial apps?
You joined TMO on Dec 2009 and bought N900 less than a week ago?
With this stupid answers you can excuse everything. Maybe i did research for 6 months (something that gets remarked everywhere in this forum when people are not satisfied with ther phone...) until i was sure the N900 will get a real application store and bought it yesterday.
Nokia promised that we get an ovi store update less than a week ago. That counts.

This is horrible communication from Nokia! WTF is happening over there???
