To my mind, it seems like it does not have the most distinctive and important parts of the NIT.
Well the first thing I noticed about the homescreen interface was the widgets, which look suspiciously similar to the ones on the NIT homescreens... And to be honest, considering the amount of research they now have on their touchscreen internet devices I don't see why they wouldn't incorporate certain parts of these into their new touchscreen phones. All the pieces of the puzzles are coming together. Like it's been said in the past, the NITs are experimental and the users are labrats, Nokia clearly have a wider strategy for these things, where's the sense in creating a bunch of devices for a few linux developers when they can incorporate what they've learnt from us NIT owners into a more mass market product? I wouldn't be surprised if the 'n900' is a larger N97 with maemo...
