"Don't worry about whats said in these threads. "

No, many people make their choice of phone/device based on forums like this. They are influenced by the number of negative posts and by general, unspecific complaints.

And,we care how many people buy the N900 because the more that buy, the more likely there are people making apps for the device or improvements.

So, it, unfortunately, not helpful to ignore.

This does not mean of course we post happy threads only; we want improvements and we want even potential buyers to know what's what, including what's currently wrong.
