However, I don't want anything from Symbian, since Maemo is vastly superior to it.

Yes yes... We have groups in address book in Maemo. We can assign different rings to different contacts. The built-in MMS functionality is perfect. USSD is handled very well. We can sync via SyncML over the web... so on... and on...

(Doesn't this thread belong to other subforum?)

I would recommend waiting for the new Symbian^3 phones. They are supposed to be right around the corner.

If you want symbian then why not just buy an n97? Why run s60 on the n900 to gain some apps but lose some great things like multi desktop, a proper browser with full flash, divx playback, etc. I was a s60 user for 5 years and after having the n900 i love Maemo, i still use s60 as a second device (e72) but from now on Maemo will be my choice for my main device, i hope s60 getts better with symbian^3, its a great platform but needs a better browser and better video playback suport IMO

A N900 with multiboot function for Symbian^3, Maemo(Meego) and a "normal Linux" like Ubuntu or so would be more than great, and should be possible. When you look at the xda-developers you can see almost everything is possible, if someone cares about.

*Dreammode on*
N900 with multiboot Maemo(Meego), S^3, IphoneOS and maybe some other stuff
*Dreammode off*

That is not possible i think because of the iphoneOS, but wouldn't it be a dream?

But to come back to topic:
If someone gets symbian running on N900 i would kiss his a... :D
Symbian gets more interesting because of the mobile ESL comming soon. Seems again maemo will "look into the hole" ....
in the last days i really doubt n900 was the right choise. ESL is comming to symbian, and all the other stuff always comes for the iphone... :( i want to have tv on my n900 too...... (and yes i know worldtv, but it doesn't provide casual german tv, so its uninteresting)

While i do not support fanboys,thinking of how bad it is that you have bought the n900 just because it doesnt have a TV(rofl),is plain stupid.There are much more important things that the n900 is badly missing,such as a decent Maps/navigation application,and not to mention that Ovi Store is empty.

Well navi with sygic is ok. OVI Store i'm not really missing, because loading apps goes over other ways, and the rest of ovi i don't use.
So for me an actually missing tv app is the worst thing, yes, interests are different, and i'm proud to say i'm a tv junky ;) i bought the LG DVB-T phone just because of tv, and i "threw" my n95 into the corner for that....

Re: Is Symbion OS on N900 possible??
 
I forgot where, but I read a report about a developer getting Android to work on the N900 and being able to dual boot with it. If that is true, then that would be something I would be interested in. But I am hoping that MeeGo will provide more apps with Nokia and Intel working together now, so there wouldn't be a need to get another OS just so I can have more apps.
