symbian is pretty high end OS. and dont forget its a mass market OS. Windows mobile also.... they ship netbooks with linux. that comes with xterm. your argument is old fashioned. as long as maemo just works and is relatively easy to use. the high end stuff wouldn't bother the average person. this is where maemo could potentially be a win for both high end users and people who just need a elegant phone with elegant interface. there is no reason for N900 to be 180grams. it doesn't even come with a glass screen lol. even if it was 180grams...what 18mm thick....come on. for a phone as big as the iphone but twice as thick....almost. with the similar hardware inside an iphone.
