Thanks, unfortunately I couldn't get any of those methods to work with the n900. I tried installing android too and got a black screen on reboot. So I've lost patience in getting this to work. Time to relegate my n900 as a backup phone. Its been a great device and I've had it for over 3.5 years, but its time to move on. It'll be interesting to see what these small form tablets do to the phone market. I see that most new smart phones are huge, almost tablets themselves. Now i have a tablet I don't need a large phone as most of the time I'll be able to use the tablet instead. so i've just bought the smallest smartphone I can find. I predict this will be a common thing once these 7" tablets spread.
