My N800 is very close to being what I want it to be.

Negatives: Not quite a pure enough Linux environment. I would be happier with less hacks against the libraries so that running my own stuff would be easier while still allowing Hildon apps to run.

Ideally, I would put fvwm back on but because of changes to gtk2 make this a frustrating experience. If I put a pure gtk2 on, I'm guessing the Hildonized apps will not run (haven't tried it). If I just change the window manager I can still run Hildon stuff and regular X stuff, but there are some strange behaviors that make it impossible to use smoothly.

OS 2008 is miles ahead of 2007 so I look forward to the next version. Perhaps some more interface work to allow more consistency and finger use.

My N800 is always on and used regularly throughout the day but not in all the ways I would like to use it. It is close but not quite what I was expecting from a Linux device.
