I was waiting for the N97 in June. Was disappointed with the Android, so was waiting for new phones on my ATT contract to sell in August to fund the N97 purchase. Then I got busy and went to look for a good price on the N97 in Sept and "stumbled" across the N900! WooHoo! I would have been real torqued off had I bought the N97 now. So I've had the watch on for a New phone since really around May. If you want a REAL Linux phone, this is it though, it has no competition. You just gotta suck it up and wait.
