Man, I bought a N900, a pretty expensive phone, maemo based – my 3rd. and last Nokia. Nokia deserves it’s downfall: they put phones on market, talking about the developing promisses, but they don’t give a decent support, and leaves us, costumers, hanging. My N900 GPS is unusable, it’s the worst GPS software of all time – an ancient version of OVI Maps, for maemo, which Nokia decided to not update. And drop every costumer that, like my, believed in Nokia’s false promisses of “maemo”.
The impression I had, in all my 3 Nokias (maemo, and symbian based) is this: you can use only half of the capabilities of the phone, due the software limits, and lack of support.
Will never buy a Nokia again.
Sounds like my experience with HTC. I have the HTC Touch Pro. At the much touted, but a total turd of a phone. My Nokia N95 was much, much better. I think I might go back to Nokia with this one. Only phone maker who has never let me down.
