Great perspective on what is good (and bad) about the Nokia N900
You all know about my Nokia N900 Definitive Guide and the various posts I have made about this device. I am showing it off and letting all the other editors of the Smartphone Experts family of sites use the N900 this weekend and they keep saying things like, “You can’t bring a netback to a smartphone face off” and “What, that browser can handle that site?” so it is making quite an impression on the fellows. I see that Jay Montano has had a Nokia N900 now for a week and posted a great article on 22 things he loves and a few things he doesn’t that offers some great perspectives on the device.
Jay’s lists are extensive and SPOT ON! The Nokia N900 is definitely a powerhouse device, but I still don’t think it is for the typical phone user is good for the geek, power user.

I love the list, and most of it is spot on. There are a few things that he complains about that are off though, like not being able to call in landscape mode (you can), but he’s fixing those as people point out it’s possible (while not necessarily default).
My major issue with it right now is the lack of MMS. I don’t mind that, since it’s not critical, and I can share pictures via Flickr, FaceBook, and more right from the camera menu. But I’d at least like to receive MMS, or minimally be told that someone sent me one, which right now doesn’t happen.
