Hi everyone and thanks for opening this thread linuxeventually !

We are exactly at the same point where we were when the 810
appeared. Everyone is talking about hardware and NOKIA has
made a big improve on the possibilites and the OS with the n900.
And unnecessary to say that It looks awesome.

But about what i have seen, it's nothing but an optimized
media-player-phone UI so it think that it realy depends on
how you are going to use the device (phone, media player, gaming?)

And that's the difference for me: The n900 is more like
an iPhone derivate while Diablo AND Mer are a real OS
where i can act the way i might do daily with XP, Vista or OSx.

It's not that i hate the iPhone, but it's just a phone.
And it always will be for me.
But my Diablo n800 is a system where i can do much more
then simply be a content generator for my OVI or social network
provider. It's a system i can play and hack with.

Instead of publishing a newer device, NOKIA should have been
thinking about making the whole system much more end user
interesting by bringing the huge amount of possibilites that *nix
offers.

Nevertheless, i am also not going to buy the n900 if there will be
only adopted games, farting sound machine or cocain sniff apps.
I want a device that i can work AND play with.
