I would be the first to buy one.
in reality n900 is more a mobile computer than a phone,
the lack of mobile computers at good price make me stay with N900.

I had one of these with the 3G radio in it. Hacked it to run on T-Mobile USA. Got some limited telephony working on it (SMS, etc).

But really it was not practical and I ended up going back to my Nokia 9500 for almost everything I thought I would use the VAIO for since the VAIO was running an X86 chip, it took long times to boot or come back from sleep, had a short battery life, and got HOT.

Ended up selling it on eBay and putting the money towards my first N900.
