I am personally very grateful to Nokia that they have conceived, produced, and almost put on sale exactly the telephone I wished to have. After a few Palm Treos, I got a E61i (when it had been already out for a year or so) and I was very badly impressed by that agoraphobic piece of inferior software that they call Symbian. Very nice hardware, very high-quality. But it is as if the phone came with handcuffs on. Now, all I see and read about the N900 indicates that at Nokia there is someone with a clue, as regards what a really useful telephone could be. Thus: do as you wish, but I will buy a N900. When it comes out. The only thing that would make me reconsider is if they were to release a system that was less open than in the pre-release.
