If the N900/Rover is engineered with the same "E-Series battery standards" then most of you won't be complaining long at all; and except for those of you who reboot your devices every hour for the heck of it, you will probably be very happy.

Seriously folks, throw away your previous impressions of the platform - this isn't a Maemo 4 device, this isn't a current Symbian device. Its different. Different is good; it will reset expectations.
I hope so. Because from what Nokia has done with Maemo 4, it's soured me on them. Great hardware, great software and support from the community. But official support? Not so much. Out of all the devices it's the Nokia devices, then Android, then Pre that suit me but the latter two haven't matured enough yet. The Nokia devices at least have the benefit of running Linux so a port or another operating environment can be done. Alot of the software I use is multiplatform, so something like rsync or Unison can easily sync what I need.

I'll be looking to see how Nokia supports the device before I decide on buying it. Or switching to a competitor (though I'll be keeping my n800, and once Mer improves I'll install that. )
