Why I absolutely love my Nokia N900 - maemo.org

I see so many angry treads on Nokia/Maemo/N900. My opinion is so different. Or am i defferent?

I LOVE MY N900, loved it from the start, I love it now and in the future when I will inevitably change to another phone I will remember it for the great moments It gave me.

Nokia released this mobile for the community and the community did and are doing a lovely job in releasing all the cool apps and enhancing programs that are and will be available for it!

When I bought it, I bought it for the following:

Phoning: It's good. Can phone normal or skype no need for more)
Messaging / emails: Can't be more happy! it's amazing! Nothing like having a phyisical qwerty Keyboard)
browsing: It's good fast and smooth, sure we need flash 10 now but it's ok)
Music: Absolutely stunning. you can even use it with your car FM radio!!!)
Photos: Happy, main cam is good. The future is bright with Fcam!)
Films: I just can't be more happy then I am on this. SIB is the best IMO)
emulators: Geez, we are full! SNES, NES, GBA, PSX, N64..etc..)
Games: Few, but what we have are some of the best)
TV OUT: That's one of the coolest parts! It's my personal DVD player!)
Overclocking: Get your phone to speed with it's competitors!)
OS: Maemo is good and has all you need. If you do not like, meego? ANDROID?!

IMO, the only thing that we really NEED now is Flash 10.

i agree...but added to that are the REAL-time multitasking, several desktops that enable the use of many useful shortcuts and widgets, and a really "sexy" look...

i think you got the wrong idea of all this bitterness.
Nobody said that they hate their N900 and they consider throwing it off their window first chance they get.
Everyone said that they hate NOKIA for giving us all this crap, like leaving us in the dark about their future support for the device, or how will meego for n900 will look, not to mention all those bugfixes that nokia should have given us long ago.

I am happy with my device but i also cant understand how can Nokia, without any second thought, start pushing this UNCOOKED device to India and some other markets. this is pure robbery, this is not a mass market product.

N900 is a great phone, after using it I can't even think of myself with android as my smartphone OS. Yet, If nokia truly released the phone for the community they should have released all the drivers and other proprietary components for the community to modify so that we can put Ubuntu on the phone and have a working modem and such, and so that we could port meego and have it fully operational...

Nokia will never do it, it released the phone for community and quickly forgot about it and community. It threw you a bone with scraps of meat on it

I love N900, I hate the attitude towards Nokia customers.

I've been here since 2007 because of Maemo. I'm still here because of Maemo. The fact that a Nokia device is running it has been irrelevant from the start. The N800 was my first Nokia device and it's still going strong today. I have not had any of the hardware issues some people have had so I'm very happy with my N900. Nokia have delivered most of what I expected from the N900 and I'm happy that there's more clarity with regard to the Qt future that will give our devices years more life.
