The major problem with video recording on the N900 is that there are frame rate issues. You can alleviate the issues by setting the phone to offline mode and closing every other application but, to tell you the truth, who is going to do this when someone just wants to record a minute clip or so? Even by doing this, you only decrease the probability of frame rate issues as they still occur with everything closed.
Just shoot some wonderful video with it instead
As someone suggested before, it may be that the camera/video recording app does not have high priority status over other processes thus it gets slowed down by everything else running and causing frame rate issues.
So no, I would not recommend video recording for anyone if they use this as their primary device. I really hope the next firmware update fixes this issue and adds more standard features found on other handsets(like video stabilization).

Needless to say i told them to get stuffed and ordered from nokia directly. About a week after the n900 was released I got a call from mpd saying that they were going to charge my card and they were sending me an n900 (i already had one by then). lol.
I must say I can take pictures with one hand, its not exactly easy due to the weight of the N900. When I hold it in one hand I naturally have my thumb on the back so it can't slide.
I agree on the quality but it really REALLY is a tiny lens and a lot of people use MUCH worse quality and happily upload them to their blogs, flickr, etc. Sure I wish it could compete to a low-end P&S but its just not realistic, it would have to be a lot bigger and cost a fortune.

The N900 has a 6 out of 10 rating on my scale for indoor pictures. Most pictures I took ended up being fuzzy, overcompressed and grainy. At least red eye didn't seem to be a problem. Taking pictures with one hand is near impossible, because the slider either pops open ifI support the phone from the bottom with my thumb or if I support it from the back, the touch screen gets pushed.
Of course I knew that I should't expect more from the N900 in the camera department, I just wanted to inform people who would want to know the real thing and not sugar coated reviews: don't expect too much from the N900's camera.

Well most regular camers phones and even some camera or even DSLR can't handle pictures indoor with bad lighting *low performance ISO*. So if u are gonna take pictures then make sure u can have as much light as possible on.
As snap shots it does pretty well but if u planning on taking family picture pick up at least a p&s if u seriously want to capture the moment.....
