Hi Guys

First of all - Hello to everyone in the forums
Secondly - Damn you all for your endless enthusiasm

I have taken the plunge! Today I sold some shares and when the money hits my account next week I will be pre-ordering a N900.

Big step for me for two reasons..

I have never owned a nokia phone in my life!!!

I also have been a hardened windows mobile user, all the way back to the first SPV on Orange, and can't remember what it was like to have a non windows phone.
I guess the last straw for me was putting a hacked version of WM6.5 on my phone and realising that it still didn't cut it - the marketplace was expensive and didn't have the apps and despite the facelift - WM6.5 just doesn't have that 'must have' feeling.
I think the iphone rasied the bar, but I want an 'always on' experience and to fully use the gps receiver for all the location aware apps that are out there. I want my phone to be useful to my life, not just for calls and txt's and email.
Linux on a phone will be a new experience and I really pray that the apps will come, as it is a bit sparse at the moment, but Im sure with the community out there that this will change..

Its going to be an interesting journey and Ill let you know how I get on (now that Ive come over to the dark side )
