Yet ANOTHER useless thread... Ok, you don't like the phone and bought a new one - WHO CARES?! Really?! No, I don't care reading reviews in favour or against the N900, but reviews at least have some informative value - what does a useless rant have, besides the usual slender?

Honest to god I never meant to offend anyone. Iv been an avid supporter of the N900, what killed it for me mostly is that Nokia themselves don't seem to really care much about it for one, I happened to port android to the n900 through the help of some pple here and i loved it, it's not as closed as iPhone nor is it as immature as maemo. That's just my opinion.

I too love my N900 but i have come to realize the n900 days are numbered and i am really pissed at Nokia for the way they have treated and handled the N900. Just like what sony did with the Xperia i see nokia doing the same thing with the n900. I hated how Sony treated its customers who payed top $$$ for the Sony Xperia X1... Came over to Nokia and i am getting the same **** from them. No ovi store support, no REAL GPS maps.... didn't they promise us ovi store map sometime in Feb/March of this year?? I can go on and on and please don't even try and taint me as a troll. If Nokia keeps up this you die hard N900 will be right at my corner. I am just waiting for GOOD Android phone that i like. I see my N900 sleeping next to the Sony X1 Xperia before they year is over or maybe next.
Eh, if the N900 had a decent amount of developers and apps available, even just a small fraction of what Android has in the Marketplace, it would be much better off. I've considered doing the same thing as the OP, and dropping my N900 and throwing the SIM in a Nexus One. My wife has a Droid and even without true multitasking and a command prompt, the apps make it worth it. Navigation is top notch, the video games rock, Android has Trapster (heck, Blackberry has Trapster).
I love my N900 and I use the heck out of it everyday, but it has not caught on with developers and there is a sever lack of apps for it. I might go for a Nexus One as well if I can find a decent price on one.
PS: Nokia do something alright....

And you people might have misunderstood... I think he meant "rant" and not "runt". Misspells happen around these parts on an epic level.

I know there isn't a perfect phone out there but if I had an emulator (not dual boot) where I could run Android apps, 99% of my irritation with the N900 would go away. I would pay for an Android emulator. Like I would pay for a decent RSS feed reader with feed adding search functionality. And ports of Coloroid and Zen Garden. And some of the flying apps that have shown up in the market since I got my Nokia.
And that's the problem, I think developers assume that Linux users won't pay for apps and that's not true. Maybe on the desktop it might be - and honestly on my home server machine I've never needed to - but mobiles are different.
I'm not a software developer or I would take a stab at porting some apps. I know back in my Motorola A780 days there would be bounties posted for desired apps. Is there something similar for N900? Developers should get some rewards from their efforts or they'll eventually stop or move on to the next platform.
I'm turned off by Google and Apple's big brother behavior so that's not the solution. But it's all about the apps, especially when you sink hundreds of unsubsidized dollars into a phone - you want equal functionality and it's not unreasonable to want it. I just don't know how to help make it happen.
