Weeeellll ...
I hear the whole `n900 screen too small and the browser don`t cut it anymore` and that the n8x0 were not open enough` and it`s true ..
Still... the n8x0 was and is a great device still ... I still use mine and putter away working on odd stuff... I always loved the screen real estate... and I love the simplicity of the os..... compared to the slick precariously slapped together stuff nowaday..
The n900 is pretty much suffering the same tech displacement that the n8x0 went through too..
I enjoy my media ....film and audio and farting around on my n8x0`s
No eyestrain there...
I enjoy using my n900 as my primary phone...
but yeah the browser issues now make the n900 a `non- daily driver` ... if you can`t look up where a local taco shop is... while some ninny sitting beside you can find some cilantro-based eatery using his eyephone or drood ... then that becomes a sad sad day..
I used to think cramming a n900 or beagle into a n810 body....was the ultimate...
But eventually the demands of the world would again impose...
Now I am beginning to recant my thought on the `Lego phone`
the Ara...
such concept means one can upgrade as needed...
If we can just crack er open and stick debian on it ... well.... that would make me content....
