<timeless_mbp> lcuk: the browser is really the best portable browser i've ever used
<timeless_mbp> and it really isn't because it's something i work on, it really is great

• A task switcher that has more than one column.
• Multiple desktops for widgets.
• A camera that is not useless.

Downside:

• People like lcuk bringing software to it. (I kid, I kid!)

1. I will re-iterate Jaffa's number 1 - always-on data is amazing
2. calendar sync out-of-the-box to my google calendar. The calendar is a nicely designed app btw.
3. multiple desktops
4. finger detection is excellent - imagine a 3.5" screen with your gmail inbox in list view - you can use your finger to select which email to open up, and it is very accurate.
5. the whole UI is very polished and intuitive. I love the kinetic scrolling.
6. "call type" selection from the phone application
7. Task switching
8. camera takes some nice shots!
9. there are more that I cannot think of right now.

In short, I am in love with the loaned N900 - Maemo Devices has done an excellent job.

With the larger volume of visitors to the site and thus an increased number of threads some of them easily get lost in the shuffle, not sure how many hit the more... button regularly. I find I have to dig for something that is instantly "un-hot" in less than a day. No big deal, that's the way it works. Although if people requested it I suppose the top 12 listed under Active Topics could be increased.

Too bad there's not a category or group option that members can belong to that will allow them to be part of a notification system relating to their profile choices (a la devices owned type of detail among others)

I'm guessing those with N900s are slacking on the job, ignoring their signifcant others, and barely getting any sleep and when they do, the N900 is their pillow (or they slip it between their knees). :p

Thanks to those who've already shared, we appreciate all feedback.

The camera is really the best thing about the N900. It is good enough to be your only tourist camera when travelling.
Always-on data is great too.
And some other stuff.

Some things I like:

• The user interface redo: kinetic scrolling, etc, etc
• The integration of the phone was done very well. The integration of other services (e.g. Skype) into the phone was also done well.
• The browser -- with the automatic, selective zooming. Very cool!
• The conversation metaphor with text messages and IMs. Instead of using a "mail" metaphor -- with "replies" and "forwards" -- they have organized a nice way to handle multiple threads of messaging.
• The sharing service idea. Yes...this is present in other devices (e.g., S60), but the Evernote service shows you can write plug ins for the service. Again, the integration is cool.

'Nuf for now.
