I wasn't sure, but that's what I thought. Every reputable place I've ever done a pre-order has always taken the info.. but never charged until they finally ship the product... and I THOUGHT that might have been a policy on behalf of the credit cards... but I can't find that info anywhere.

[QUOTEI will resist however. I want the N900. It will be smaller, and it will be Maemo.]

I'm also resisting for the time being, the Nokia device will be nicer I think (as in looks & feel) and will have HSPA which would be very useful
OTOH, if there's nothing forthcoming by Christmas time, I will be even more tempted (assuming there are any left to be ordered).[/quote]

Why wouldn't maemo apps, or even the whole Hildon interface and all, work in Pandora?
