N900 is like good wine, gets better as it ages!
 
But good wine needs a good cellar to get better, and this community is exactly what it is for N900.

Its been 15 months since I got my N900 and I am more excited about it than ever!

I cannot thank enough all the devs and everyone else in the community who do their best to keep N900 at the top and exceeded our expectations.

Thank you very much guys, I hope you keep it up :)

If only the USB port was a little larger I could love it even more...

Just a month ago, I was thinking of moving onto greener pastures (namely, Android). CSSU has really opened my eyes to what my N900 is capable of and more importantly, what this community is capable of.

It's true. I am holding my breath to see how long this can keep up, but the current N900 is indeed better than ever, and that is saying quite a bit.

If only there was a way to get the message out to the critics: Hey. It's time to take another look. The N900 is finally achieving a lot of its promise. It's mostly not due to Nokia, so you won't see a difference on a new N900 -- but the N900 community has picked up what Nokia dropped.

That's the only way things COULD get better. Nokia has been Maemo's (and any hardware device's) greatest roadblock to achieving its full potential (or even at least only just a far greater one than it has been under Nokia's control). Congrats on wrestling at least SOME control from the drunk drivers at the Maemo wheel. Now let's see what you can do with it.

I feel sorry for those who sell their N900. They don't know what their missing. Im sure i won't be able to find another device that is much powerful like my N900.

BUT!

It won't be this great without this wonderful community for discovering the capabilities of this device for us. Cheers for us N900 users!

And a HUGE THANK YOU for the Community

Have to agree a few months ago I was thinking about purchasing one of the new dual core Android phones, after getting fed with the constant freezing etc but the CSSU and the various other developers have given the N900 a new lease of life.

There seems to me more new apps being released at any time since I owned my phone, we have had the Conversation modder/Someplayer/Webos app just to name a few in the last week or so.

You do wonder how good a phone this could of been with Nokia's full support when the CSSU team have made such progress when just working in their own spare time. I N950, running Meamo 6, without a keyboard could of probably easily outsold the N8.

PS Not sure what I will do if this community ever dies and I have to buy a phone without such great community support!!

I agree with all the comments above. I bet Nokia did not even realize the capabilities of this N900 when it was first produced. They created a MONSTER....all to the diligent work and the curiosity of folks here.

Thanks all..

I love my Nokia N900 and totally agree with all the above posts. The N900 has always been special and above all other devices, it just needed a solid and stable community and the rest will take care of itself. The CSSU have definitely added that special touch to this device and I just hope Nokia are looking on and thinking what a missed opportunity this was for them. Hell, they might suprise us still.... I have faith that we will see this Nokia N950...

Ever notice all those long, frustrating threads involving users with flashing problems? I'm thinking about a possible easy way around the whole issue, using Backupmenu. This could also solve the USB port issue, or I drank too much coffee this morning.

More progress is to come, at any rate.

Agreed. I'm almost certain that the flimsy port complaints would suddenly be far less of an issue if the only thing you're left to worry about is ONLY just charging the battery. That would seem to be far better than ruining your device's flash procedure because of the port. It's about time the Maemo people knew the power of having something like a "nandroid backup". I can't remember the last time I ever plugged any of my Androids into a laptop or desktop computer at all (usually use my AC or car USB ports to rapid-charge), much less to flash it with anything or to do full system-image backups/restores.

Makes one wonder why Nokia themselves didn't do this to start with--it's not even harder to implement. Leave it to the communities (Android and N900) to come up with the better tools. :)
