Been lurking (and learning) for a few weeks and am busy transferring and downloading before some customizing.

P.S. noobmonkey - first app downloaded - HealthCheck. Great work!

Hi everyone,

I got my N900 a couple weeks ago, traded my iPhone 3G for it. Best decision I've made. I'm so not used to being able to actually customize my device without voiding a warranty, it's kind of weird to be honest. I don't even know where to begin.

Hello!

I've been watching the forums for quite a while, even since before i got my n900 and love maemo.org and my n900!

Its simply fantastic and i know it will bring future opportunities such as more ported OS-es and/or virtual machines.

I heard alot of moaning from people already saying we dont have enaugh apps for maemo. Since it's not as mainstream and it's open-scourseness I find that prety logically, but since debian came up on N900 and other emulators as well, we might have a similar number of applications within reach than Iphone or Androids not too far in the future.

IMO: My N900 can do, 99% of what your rivalry phone can & more =)

Hi there

Thought I would say hi as I have had my N900 now for a month. Very impressed with it so far and having fun trying out some of the alterations you guys have posted in other threads.

I live in Staffordshire, England and have already added my pin to the map :)

Cheers

Hello everyone from Las Vegas!

So after owning an N810 since July of '08 and having gotten an N900 for Christmas, I finally broke down and registered here.

On the whole, I really love my two devices. I was formerly a longtime Palm aficionado. But by the time I had bought my last Palm, a LifeDrive, it was becoming obvious to me that Palm was going nowhere. Then one day I started looking around for a replacement. I saw some video of a guy plaing Doom with a Wiimote on an N810 one day and I was hooked.

A little more than a year getting my N810, the N900 came out. I'd always wanted a phone, but everything out at the time was kind of a disappointment for me. Everything seemed to be based around locked-down app stores where everything seemed so oversimplified. I wanted something I could do anything with. Sure, the N900 might not be for everybody, and sometimes Nokia's approach to some things leaves a few things to be desired. But where else can you find a phone that can play Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, or for that matter anything else, with a Wiimote or PS3 controller? Hell, I even recycled my old N810 into a server with the help of Easy Debian.

These things are really the gifts that keep on giving. I really don't know where I'd find myself had Nokia not decided to undertake the grand experiment that is Maemo. They've really got gold here.
