There's no such thing like "locked into freemantel's [fremantle(!)] aging repo's" on Neo900.
I do believe such thing exists or we would have torrent clients with DHT support 2 years ago when it became standard. The fact some new functionalities are made available is not convincing seeing that a batch of 200 devices at this price point is shaky, who's going to develop those? If it comes to same software stack nothing really changes, the blobs will be outdating us there in 9 months like they are now, actually even worse. /rant (just to clarify, I still want one, sure, just bringing some reality check in, there was a post mentioning OMAP4 (probably quote), I didn't get reply here that it will be impossible, only on IRC, then there is a post mentioning 3.10 kernel (probably in adnroid context), no commentary on that too then everyone coming with wild ideas, lets make it clear this is going to be Fremantle/N900 with 10-30% speed boost, all the rest is pretty much working the same, 924 dollars (700 euro) it is for me at least worth not, but good luck though)
