Are you giving it time to focus? Point at target and 'soft click' - engage the shutter button half way - the n900 will visibly 'focus' on screen. Then click to take photo.
If it's not doing this, try taking images out in bright daylight: It may need more light to focus. Indoor images are often a bit fuzzy a digital cameras struggle to get a focus unless they're big expensive ones.

Given where the n900 mic is, that had actually crossed my mind... but I think too many people are reporting it for that.

I think this is a UI bug, then.
When you press the button fully down without waiting half way, there should be at least an option for it to wait until auto-focus is done before taking the shot.
All my digital cameras do that. It's a bit annoying, because you sometimes want a picture taken quickly instead, and that's why it would be good if it were an option.
