I'm just saying, if you dont like it, go get something else. Trade or sell it away. It's the same as a car, If you don't like the one you have, sell it or trade it in. I wasn't saying you were trolling. I was saying that if your purpose was simply to state your displeasure in the phone, you can sell it and recoup some of your losses. If you're here to incite and inflame( trolling) please shut your pie hole.
can you please explain what trolling is please...i have never heard of this word before...
Trolling is (in my definition anyway) the gratuitous and unhelpful complaining about a product or service on a community forum.
Most people join this forum to find constructive solutions for problems and shortfalls on their Nokia Internet Tablets (not just N900). These are very much 'enthusiast devices' aimed at early adopters for new thechnology and new, transitional operating systems.
When people come on here and just slag off a device without stating why they found it lacking a battle of words usually ensues and this can quickly degenerate into vitriolic attacks on other people's knowledge or lack thereof.
The word 'Troll' is used a lot!
There's a lot of ego round here, I'm afraid, but there are also alot of very genuine people who work very hard to help develop and improve these interesting devices.
Perhaps you might like to share your experiences in the relevant thread, or seek advice and experience via the excellent search function?

I believe your situation isn`t the norm, not everybody had 3 or 4 phones replaced.I had mine for almost 8 months (overclocked) and not a single problem with it.

You've posted in multiple threads now and have had two explanations of the term "troll", you've also had lots of helpful suggestions on some of the other threads you've posted in.
I would suggest that you speak to whoever is sending you the 4th handset and tell them you believe it is "not fit for the purpose sold" - that's wrong, I think the problem lies elsewhere but they might just agree and provide you with something a little less complex.
back on topic..... i remember when the n900 was introduced, my feelings were mixed and more on the negative side. i didn't like many of the design decisions they made for the maemo 5 UI (which i had only read about or seen in screenshots at that time). i didn't like small screen (compared to n8x0), the thickness of the device, its less than basic phone features (missing mms, syncing, voice dialing, text2speech,...) etc etc etc.
one of my blog posts then cought the attention of peter schneider; he commented and, among other things, said the n900 was "addictive". - well, what else could he have said... that's what i thought.
now, 9 months later, i know how right he was. it's probably the most addictive gadget i've ever owned. whatever i worried about before - i was proven wrong. the UI works exceptionally well; most of the functionality i missed is now provided by 3rd party applications... plus i got used to carry something big in my pants.
so he was right: it's addictive. it may not be perfect, but i'd never trade it for any other touch device. i'm impressed, just like the OP is. so impressed, in fact, that i bought a second one.
It is nice but really nokia could just silence all (or much of) he criticism with a few strokes...
1) promise another firmware update
2) promise new flash
3) promise voice navigation
I have no idea as a non developer how hard these 3 items would be, but I think the n900 has done more to hurt nokia's reputation then help it in general. personally I could not do without a hardware keyboard and a true linux (no not maemo but easy debian). It is great because I can learn linux on it in chroot and not be afraid of killing the phone. But I really feel with just those 3 things nokia could silence their n900 critics. problem is nokia doesn't really seem to care....
I bought my N900 just yesterday and have been playing with it eversince! This thing is AMAZING out of the box, and still getting better with all the comunity apps!!
And for lovelymommybecks: trolling continuously is posting offtopic. Definition can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29
Good luck with your 4th one
@extendedping
PS, why would you buy a second one? you can play with only one at the time, isnt it?
