Wasn't WebOS based on Linux, as I recall? Also.. Isn't the "phone stack" in Maemo 5 supposed to be called 'ofono'? Is that phone stack opened up as open-source? I'll bet it's nooooot!

My sentiment exactly.

That statement on the Pre is not a Palm one, but a Google one as that VERY SAME statement is being asked on my Android phone as soon as I start it up for the first time.

The GSM capabilities made the tablet smaller. No one would ever buy a 4" phone. May be Apple ones...

Re: RX-51 Tablet picture released at Engadget

Talking about unlocking, I have had my phone (GSM) unlocked by he carrier (T-Mobile) while under a contract here in the USA.

I travel abroad to my home country (india) and I just had to tell T-Mobile that I wanted my phone unlocked to use internationally. First they try to offer you International Roaming but of course who is such a fool ?

They pretty readily agreed to unlock it and they did so in a day.
As long as you can show a valid reason for unlocking, I think they will have to.

Also if the N900 supports tri band or quad band, then I think it will wok on any of the major carriers.
I am thing such a high-end phone should be a quad-band support phone.
Do we know anything about the bands it supports on the cellular radio ?

Aha, thanks for clarifying that - didn't think about the 3G part - true.

Re: RX-51 Tablet picture released at Engadget

According to the FCC filing, the device will support 3G on 900/1700/2100. GSM/EDGE support covers 850/900/1800/1900.

Assuming, of course, that there aren't different versions for different markets...

I'm not so sure about that. In my personal experience, I have lots of friends and family members who when they see my tablet they make comments like: "Wow is that phone?" then I explain what it is and show them it browsing the internet and other fun stuff... and all I get from people is comments about how they wish their phone had a bigger screen.

If I had to guess, for those to whom data capabilities are most important in a phone, a phone tablet with a 4" screen would be a dream come true.
But that's just a guess. :)

The problem is: On Android, you were asked; On the Pre, you are not asked.

I am a big fan of the Nokia font, I love it that many applications use it in Maemo... The xterm, for example, uses it in the toolbox. What is this skinny thing they are trying to make us swallow??

I like that font. :p
