You probably can, but it is rather simple:

1. On your N900 device, go into App Manager, top menu, "Repositories", and add the following repository:

Name: Maemo Extras Testing
URL: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/
Distribution: fremantle
Sections: free non-free
Enabled: YES

2. Do "Update", then "Download" and you will see way more packages than if you just use Extras. Install some you like.

3. Run installed packages. If package runs well, vote it up. If it crashes, vote it down and leave a comment. Voting and commenting happens here:

http://maemo.org/packages/repository...xtras-testing/

Note: Each new version of the package has to be voted up separately!

Let me know if you have any questions.
Obligatory warning! Additionally, if you brick your device now while the firmware images aren't public yet cannot restore the device until these firmware images are available.

Your device might also not work (well) potentially leaving you with a device without GSM/GPRS, impacting your communication abilities, leaving you without possibility calling emergency services.
