Alright guys, I'm now thinking of getting this Android on my N900 as well as I can't wait anymore :P .. Anyways, I had a couple of questions:

1) Firstly a general question: Is installing Android onto N900 at this stage (e.g. cannot make phone calls, slow OS due to software emulation for graphics, etc ..) worth it ? ... Remember, this is a general question, and I know of all the risks, etc .. so assume there are no risks :) ... Should I go for it now or is it better to wait some more ..

For me yes it is worth it you can install games and play them via nitdroid. I love spin/zen bound/angry bird but i need more then just 3 games because i get bored easily. I am currently playing "world at war" (wish they also had words with friends)

2) Suppose I install android now, can it be totally uninstalled easily at a later time ... ? (like remove the bootloader, and the Android partitions, etc ..)

I am not sure on this question but i believe you can totally just reflashed your phone and it will belike factory (remember to back up your contacts)

3) Also, suppose I install Android and then there's a fix out on how to get the phone calling thing working for example .. Can I just apply the update onto my existing Android install, or do I reinstall everything from scratch with the new update .. ?

Depends on how the 3 duo does this, I think you can do it in different ways but it is always better to install from scratch in my opinion.

4) Which version of Android is available as of now, 2.1 or 2.2 ?

Nitdroid is 2.2 i believe

5) Would I have access to the Official Android Market and be able to install apps from there ?

Yep I am able to install mutiple apps (dont recommend doing this it takes a long time vs one by one) and play games like Word at war, kindoms, etc

6) Which of these guide to install Android is the most up-to-date ? (I can't tell :P): this, this or this .. ?

I used the wiki


with the only exception is that install these files individually

apt-get install wget
apt-get install bzip2
apt-get install rootsh
apt-get install Vim (nano wasnt aviable because i didnt have extras-devel/extras-testing repo setup)

Thanks in advance :)
