110% echo the replies here. Here is my background: * Current iPhone 3G user who is hating the locked environments (even jailbroken it is a mess) * User of the N770 and N800 pads since they came out, though not anymore. * Android-envy Nothing would scream "my perfect device" like a Maemo phone that had API-level Android capabilities (I don't care about having the Android desktop nor the dialer/etc ... I just want apps) AND a working J2ME compatibility story (no Swing == not working with a ton of J2ME apps ... I "get" why no Swing, and I prefer SWT, but it hamstrings the java story). One or the other will probably sway me to stick with Maemo. Neither means I will seriously evaluate the phone but likely will return it. I'm no longer an embedded Linux professional (I worked on it professionally for a few years back when the 770 first came out) so I have very little -work- justification for spending that much time fiddling around with my phone. I want the -ability- but I also want the convenience of a large base of pre-made apps. Again ... most of the folks I read about don't care that this isn't a true native Android phone ... we just want access to apps. Even if we can't get on the Google app store it would be a huge benefit to be able to run those apps. Unless I am mistaken, Google apps are not limited to -only- going through the Google store. Similarly we don't want a Java phone ... just a Linux phone that can run J2ME apps. I almost hopped on the OpenMoko bandwagon a couple of years ago but in the end the iPhone's apps won out. The N900 is closer-enough that I'm considering a switch. But I'm also about 50/50 on going with a Droid phone instead for now.
