I bought two N900 summer 2011. I dont regret it a second. I will try to stretch my phone budget if I can to buy two more since this is possibly the last of Nokias good telephones ever, since they sold out to Microsoft.

Have confidence that even if Maemo "stops", which it basically never will until all n900 owner have lost their phones, you can still develop for the N900 yourself.

I will stick with this phone until GSM/3g is no longer possible to use, from then on it will be A tablet only, for using on 80211.

I dream about the N950 with a stylus and Grub to multiboot betwen Meego and Maemo.

go for it!
