just because the n900 is a "hackers-phone" doesnt excuse its flaws. its a commercial product that has been advertised in public and sold to everyone.

I am very happy with my N900...my other phone is a Blackberry 9000 (traditional shape) and I am very happy with that as well.

Its sad some are not happy, but as long as I think its a superb device, thats exactly what it is

Oh and check out some of the N900 projects on Youtube...what other device is allowing people to do these super creative things?!

Edit: Oh and for the last time you can buy stylus for it everywhere!

Ahh you clearly don't understand.

It's a hacker's phone. Therefore they aren't flaws, you're just not intelligent enough to use it correctly. Imagine it's like the iPhone4 antenna problem, but rather than holding the phone wrong you're using your brain wrong

If you're very happy with your N900, why are you participating in this thread? Clearly, you have nothing to offer. The only thing you've done is communicated to people in this thread that the original poster's opinion is simply not yours and you don't even have the common courtesy to so much as explain why or offer some solution or information to improve their opinion.

The N900 is the best phone I ever had....period.I cannot see any other phone in the market right now surpassing it.

I can't even BUY a replacement stylus or kickstand or anything for my N800 (nor one for the N900) never mind hope that Nokia would ship me ANY parts for free.

So.. is that the comparison you wanted to make?

How old is the N800 (I did not check)?
Do you get all that HW stuff for old Android phones?
I doubt that.
Maybe for "older" Apple phones.
Your stylus problem:

Some people complain about N900 being somehow
"incomplete", but the hardware is very complete.
Therefore it must be Maemo they aim at.

That is what I meant with
"Where was Android after < 1 year?"

But that isn't better with other devices afaics.
Blackberry users at work sometimes even don't get a day
of using the device without recharge.

Sorry but, are you blind? Have you read the thread about USB port getting loose? I'm not talking about the lack of USB-OTG. I'm talking about people suddenly having their precious microUSB port in their hands. This could happen to YOU too.

And yes, the iPhone also has design flaws. In fact, iOS 4 still doesn't work well on many iPhone 3G. And yes, you could compare those with each other... but I (and many others here) don't have an iPhone. I have a Nokia N900.

i also think the n900 is "hardware complete" but that does not have anything to do with the fact that it is a dead piece of junk in nokia's eyes.

Android:

That is stuff for consumers?

Also I do not want Google to erase on my phone:
