Actually there is no mediaplayer on the device that comes even close to iPod. ^^
/offtopic
high res playback of many video files
proper id3 album art support spanning internal and removable storage.
removable sd card and battery
upnp stream access
etc.
If you spend all your time looking at the negatives, you willl surely miss the pleasure of the considerable positives the N900 has.

For a 600 Mhz machine, the GUI is not quite as responsive as I would hope.
The mail client is really, really sucky which makes Nokia look bad... I mean, it's not rocket science to polish something like what they have now into something better.
Makes me think Nokia doesn't care that much, which saddens me...
Still, for me I have some pending things I would like fixed:
- better UI on the mail client
- more than 4 desktops (... please?)
- have app icons show when I install them, not on reboots
- better MSN connectivity
- intelligent contact merging
- better GPS app from Nokia
- more responsiveness when I click on IM notifications
- assign ringtones to contacts
- more than 2 profiles
-funny i just disabled one
- there is bug report on this
- Not nokias thing to worry. Totally depended on community. Understand that it is after all microsofts. But some maybe some collaboration on this one (price?)
-what do you need? Hermes?
- After update its better but not there yet.
- Responsivness is some places fast (microb) and some places its just bit slow.
- and last ones i also agree.
And a few more "paper cuts" here and there. Overall, it's a great computer with some nice phone features
But right now this forum is full of these kind of threads and it seems that oldtimers are getting tired about this "noise" or whining.

Here's example of my battery life:
I charged it full(wall) before going to sleep. I leave it next to me whole night, like ~8-9 hours so it's on standby, doing nothing.
When I woke up it was at like 75%, I opened up browser and IM and spent like 10 mins on and it was at 50% and would probably go down more quickly.
Is this normal?

Set your internet access to "ask for connection" and remember to disconnect when you've finished whatever you're doing and suddenly you'll be raving about the battery life.
Mine finishes a full days use (phone/text/email/web) with an 80% full battery since I've started doing that.

I'll test this agian when it drops to lowest I'll charge it and use it normally.
I got 2 N900s in house and they both have similar battery life.

One thing i was recently searching for - automatic disconnector script or similar thing... anyone knows, is there anything similar?
I tried to search for osso-wlan dbus interfaces but did not find much documentation... ie in Ubuntu, you can do a script, which can disconnect wlan using networkmanager after some idle time (say 5 minutes) - is it possible also with N900?
Polishing these kind of edges makes it really handy. click, check mail, click, done, and forget it.
Or then, why couldn't it go automatically to some *default* IMAP mail inbox, when you open mail application? Why do you have to to 2 clicks, to get there? etc...
It is already much better device than iPhone, why not make it *simple* too
Waiting eagerly for next firmware release...

Maybe switching 2g<>3g drains battery a lot?
Often I see it switch between 2g, 2.5g and 3g :S
