Its alright tbh, its usable. The slowness is ONLY due to the fact that I am booting from a MicroSD Card and the N900 only has 256MB of RAM so running an OS purely from the RAM and then reading/writing to a MicroSD card is gonna be 200x slower then having it run off of the actual flash memory Maemo 5 runs from
Its not usable enough atm for me to even consider flashing the eMMC with it and using it as my main os instead of Maemo 5. Maybe if I had a second device I would flash MeeGo DE onto the eMMC and then play around with it alot more.
The icons are really basic and kinda blocky but tbh in a development build who cares about icons :P
The functionality is more or less there, just needs alot of UX fine tuning and much more keyboard support withing apps like x-terminal and also to respond to the keyboard opening and unlock the device :P
Otherwise its pretty alright to use
